3 quirks & policies that don't fit the highlights grid.
UTFG Airlines: an aviation metaphor that flies the whole convention
UTFG's 2026 "World Journey" (環遊世界) theme doesn't just live on a banner, it permeates every system on the site. Registration tiers are cabin classes (Economy, Business, First Class). The event badge is a "boarding pass". The printed schedule book is a commemorative "passport" with blank pages for stamp swaps with other attendees. Panels are "In-Flight Entertainment". Souvenirs are "In-Flight Merchandise". Walk-in registrants are "passengers". Even the convention staff get a flight-crew callout, the rules call them "Cabin Crew (Organizing Team)".
The First-Class Patron Program: 5 slots, application-reviewed, NTD 100,000+
Above the regular cabin-class ladder sits the First-Class Patron Program, a top-tier sponsorship band with the structural shape of Furlingame's "Captain" tier at Taiwanese scale: maximum 5 slots, NTD 100,000 minimum (~USD 3,150), application-reviewed rather than first-come, with applications closing Feb 4, 2026 regardless of whether all 5 seats fill.
The After-Party: TailShake mixology + Alcofurlic live at Sheraton Hsinchu
UTFG's After-Party is a separate NTD 1,950 / 18+ ticket above the main registration, a buffet dinner at the Sheraton Hsinchu Hotel with two named furry-scene rosters running the room. 搖尾吧 TailShake is a 10-bartender troupe (丹丹, 碳角, 托托, 達格比, 菲林, 棠音, 黑月影狼, 伏特加, 凱K, 雪兔) mixing "World Journey" exclusive cocktails inspired by the flavours and cultures of different cities. The live set is by 找醉獸 Alcofurlic, a 7-member furry band (踏古/Taku, 帕洛特, 夜嚎, 珍珠, 柴虎 ShibaTR, Vincent, Nier).
