What to expect....

If you mean "what will there be to do", then there's a bunch of descriptions already on this site. Most of them are of what was on 2006's agenda, but the generals are the same from year to year, and the specifics (who is the Guest of Honor) change within those limits.
So, look left and click on "Events." There's descriptions of the main events, and if you scroll down, there's a link for the calendar from 2006 with ALL the official activities listed. (It's downloadable as a PDF.) So, you can find out pages and pages of information on what there is to do at the convention. (There's also local activities NOT from the convention, and those are ALSO linked from "Events." )

Unless you're expecting things no convention could give you (..and I starred in my own cartoon, and led the Thundercats...), you will not be disappointed. I'm NOT a "typical" fur (if there is such a thing), and I had lots of fun the past 2 years and plan on returning THIS year. I'm NOT into the yiffy stuff, either. (Nor the art, really.)

Besides the listed events, what can you expect? (It's a fair question-I asked before I attended, and I'll tell you what I would have liked to know. Actually, I'll crosspost it from the other thread I posted it to the other day.)
===========

What should you expect? (This is what I really wanted to know.)
You'll see a bunch of people walking around, standing around, talking, and so on. They will have conbadges. Some will be dressed in normal streetclothes, some will have animal-print shirts, some will wear ears and a tail, and some will have an entire fursuit on. All of them are treated the same-you will not be required to wear ANY special clothing. (You must wear SOMETHING, since neither the hotel nor AC approves of public nudity. Once you've covered that, you should be fine.)

What will people do? They may say hello, and start up conversations. Or they may not. You're free to do the same. It's fine to chat for a few minutes and then move on, or make friends. (Their name is on their badge, so you don't have to worry about forgetting it.) There's lots of events-the Dealers' Room, the Masquerade (Talent Show), the Art Auction, and so on, the dances, and all the seminars, round-tables, discussions, games, interactive events, and so on. Find what interests you and try to be on time to it. Allow for travel time between events- elevator lines and small hikes all add up.

So long as you don't bring your own trouble, trouble should not be seeking you out. All public activities, all AC events, and anything in the hotel and convention center areas are all required to be acceptable in public. (No one can just walk up to you and start doing stuff to you, even if they wanted to.) AC and the hotel, for the most part, do not legislate what you do in your hotel room. (They'll say something if you start a fire or make too much noise...) So you can lock your door and do whatever you want in private.
So can other people, and if there's anything you'd object to anywhere at the con, it would be behind closed doors. So, if you're worried about finding yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time, just avoid being in other people's hotel rooms. I myself have not even had anything resembling a problem at AC so far.

Overall, AC is a fun, friendly event, where nobody pushes any attention on you, all events are safe, and there are many ways to have a good time-or several good times.
