Anthrocon 2010

Welcome to Anthrocon!

Posted by Unclekage (Dr. Samuel Conway) on Fri, 2007-10-26 21:19
Anthrocon is the world's largest convention for those fascinated with anthropomorphics, which are humanlike animal characters. We are a collection of artists, animators, writers, costumers, puppeteers, and just everyday fans who enjoy cartoon animals and their kin. This Summer we will convene at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, PA, from June 24-27, 2010 for workshops, panel discussions, an art exhibition and a dealer room, and much more! Membership is open to any and all who like to imagine what it would be like if animals could walk and talk as we do. We are very pleased to announce that Mr. James Gurney will be joining us at our 2010 convention as our honored guest. Mr. Gurney is the author and illustrator of the Dinotopia series of books, and as an artist is renowned for his depictions of creatures straight out of the Modern Stone Age.

Shipping to the DLCC

Posted by Giza (Douglas Muth) on Mon, 2008-04-07 15:04

(Shipping to the DLCC is for dealers only. All others should ship to the Westin)

With the current trend among airlines for charging higher and higher fees for baggage, you may find it advantageous to ship items to the Westin or, if you are a dealer, directly to the Convention Center. Be advised, however, that there are charges at both locations to receive and handle any boxes, and that there are very specific (and very different) rules to follow for each location. Anthrocon has helped to arrange these services and done its best to negotiate reasonable rates and rules, but that is as far as we go. We take no responsibility for misdirected shipments, neither does any location offer any guarantees. It is strongly, strongly recommended that you choose a carrier that offers tracking services such as DHL, UPS, Fedex, and the like.
