From attendees
Memphis is an accessible Southern transit hub:
Do not book a room for this convention yet. The Memphis Vitality Hotel, which was to host MFM 2026, told the convention on 13 August 2026 that it would "cease hotel operations effective August 16, 2026" and could not accommodate the event. The hotel began refunding room deposits to the original payment method the next day. If you booked a room and have not been refunded, contact the hotel directly.
The official homepage now says the convention must postpone this year's edition. It is considering a 2027 postponement or a smaller mini Memphit event after the venue search did not produce a Labor Day weekend location.

3 quirks & policies that don't fit the highlights grid.
Founders Dinner and the Night Badge: after-dark on-ramps
Before the postponement, MFM's registration page listed a $500 Founders level, whose perk was a private Founders Dinner plus the Super Sponsor / Founder reception. It also listed Attending at $75 pre-reg ($80 at the door), Sponsorship at $120, Super Sponsorship at $240, and Founders at $500. These are historical 2026 registration values, not current offers.
Five co-directors and the Tiger Haven enclosure legacy
MFM's `/directors/` page names five co-directors who share what other cons assign to a single convention chair, an explicitly unusual organisational style for a US furry con. That distributed model has held the show together across a 29-year run.
The 2025 Vitality Hotel reset: a forced move after 15 years at Whispering Woods
From 2010 through 2024, MFM ran at the Whispering Woods Hotel in Olive Branch, Mississippi, fifteen straight editions. In January 2025 the org announced the move home to Memphis: Whispering Woods had "entered an agreement with a company to rent out the entire hotel", forcing MFM to find a new venue.
