Guidelines for events hosted by Sachsen Furs e.V.

Our events are large-scale gatherings, generally referred to as conventions. As we often receive negative feedback or complaints that indicate the regular operation of such events, we would like to outline some points here that are to be considered normal at our events. Please take a moment to review them before deciding to attend.

  • Expect a loud environment. We set up quieter rooms, but this is not a guarantee of silence. (Typically from noon to 4 a.m.)
  • Events will have a large number of guests in a confined space. Please consider this when registering. Room preferences do not accommodate aversions to crowds.
  • The venue may be partially illuminated from the outside. Expect light to enter through windows. Rooms are equipped with curtains.
  • Pets are allowed, but due to their size, these events do not have a pet-friendly character.
