Mephit Fur Meet (MFM) is a long-running heritage event in Memphis that recently secured a larger venue to support its continued growth.
Mephit Fur Meet (MFM) is a heritage event, running continuously since 1997. It prides itself on a "family reunion" atmosphere in Memphis.
For 2025, MFM faced a venue crisis when its long-term home was bought out. The move to the Vitality Hotel turned into a blessing, offering 300 rooms (2.5x previous capacity) and consolidated convention space. This unlocks growth for an event that has been physically constrained for years.
MFM continues its decades-long partnership with Tiger Haven, a big cat sanctuary. The convention consistently raises funds for animal welfare.
