Megaplex is an 18+ furry convention held at the Hyatt Regency Orlando on International Drive in Orlando, Florida. The 2025 edition crossed the 10,000-attendee threshold for the first time with 10,038 registrants and raised $90,600 for the Greater Orlando Pet Alliance, making it one of the largest and most philanthropically active conventions in the fandom.
Since transitioning to an 18+ format in 2023, the convention has established itself at the Hyatt Regency Orlando on International Drive. The August 21-23, 2026 edition adopts the "Parks" theme, leaning into the Orlando location.
The Hyatt Regency is a large resort property with outdoor pools and convention space suited to Megaplex's focus on performance, fursuit theatricals, and interactive arts. The Orlando location means many attendees combine the convention weekend with visits to Disney and Universal Studios.
Megaplex is recognized as one of the fandom's top charity fundraisers. The 2025 edition raised over $90,000 for the Greater Orlando Pet Alliance, continuing a pattern of significant annual contributions to local animal welfare.
