What does this mean?

It means, CozyCon (CCO) and Furnal Equinox (FE) are sharing resources, helping each other out and working together to promote each others events.

We're going to be focusing on September being CCO's main event, with a smaller May event.FE's event is in March and we will be promoting it as they will ours.FE is adapting their VRChat worlds for us to use, including a Vendor space for our dealers, available year-round.Our vendors will now get all year round booths in these worlds (during both CCO and FE events) so we will only be doing one vendor application a year instead of two.Both events will be promoting each other on social media, our websites, etc.Sharing is caring! we all know how cons need more volunteers and we hope that by partnering we can grow our volunteer pool and have them overlap!Maybe more~ Who knows what the future will hold and we're very excited!

This event is also open to all fandoms/industries as long as content follows our rules. We also welcome services that are for creatives. (Vendor space is essentially an ad to bring attendees to your shop/offers/stream/etc.)

► CozyCon is not responsible for your content and will not protect you from legal action. We retain the right to blacklist folks doing anything illegal or breaking the rules/terms.

► NSFW is allowed as long as:
1) Applications have been filled out properly so we can appropriately mark the rating on our pages

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

►Is it a FURRY event?
We are not specifically a furry event. We welcome all industries/fandoms and that does include furries! Our mascot is an anthropomorphic sloth because that's what we thought fit from the initial ideas. (The creator of the character, Temrin, is also a fantasy artist and draws anthro's better than humans. ;P )

►How does an online convention work?
We are a hub for the event, but each individual Vendor or Panelist will be hosting their offerings and events in their own way. (CozyCon does now offer a centralized Discord server to host panels, events, and general event chatting.)

What this means is that some folks might stream an event, it might be based around and/or done in a game or chat platform, etc. Vendors may host their offerings in an online store, through their website, a journal or gallery and they may have sales/commissions/streams during the event. What and how they run their event involvement is up to them. Vendors and Panelists are from all over the world so expect them to charge in their own currency and respect that.

►How do I attend and is there a fee?
Attending is free and we hope you'll spend your money buying from the Vendors or tipping your favourite panelists! Attending is simple, you only need to check the Vendors or Events pages during (and shortly before) the event to check out whats happening and when! Each listing will have a link to participate wherever that person is hosting their content and you can also interact directly with most vendors/panelists on our Discord.
If you are interested in event merch, we have a Con Store!

►Why do Vendors have a fee?
At the moment, it's not free to host this, even if we are only acting as a hub. We have overhead to cover that we cannot afford out of pocket, so we've added a fee to those who will be making money off our event in hopes of making that money back and being able to run this again and make the event better in the future!

►Why doesn't CozyCon charge for Vendors listings in USD?
Because we're based in Canada! (This is good news for Americans, IT'S CHEAPER!)

►I want to volunteer to help the event beyond running panels
Awesome! We've got a form up for those wanting to help mod or staff.
