3 quirks & policies that don't fit the highlights grid.
Year-3 expansion: the Delta Hotel as a second primary venue
After 2025 attendees flagged a lack of late-night social spaces, ASC published a 2026 hotel update making the Delta Hotels Ontario Airport a second primary venue alongside the OCC, with dedicated Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evening pool and courtyard programming running out of the Delta itself rather than the convention center.
The $1,200 Benefactor tier, capped at ten buyers a year
ASC's top registration tier, Benefactor, is sold for $1,200 and limited to ten attendees per year, with the entire allocation closing on June 1 ahead of the convention.
Paid-ticket Fursuit Maid Cafe with a partial-suit volunteer rule
ASC runs a Fursuit Maid Cafe as a paid add-on, $35 tickets, sold separately from registration, with a hard rule that Maids must be in fursuit or partial. Volunteers who work 8+ hours earn second-year badge compensation, turning the cafe into a recurring volunteer pipeline rather than a one-off event.
