The follow up this morning from the director of @furryweekend.com was about as bad of a non-apology as anyone could ask for. They stated that there were 15 staff on the con and despite having a full time dedicated office and being a for-profit con 🧵

Capping this off to say, it’s a real eye opener when events fail. Vendors are in many ways your staff. They’re collaborating to make your event better and are a selling point to your event. People come to an event for good vendors. As an event - failing your vendors is a HUGE deal @furryweekend.com

Sure did! Having been in non profits for a lot of years including having oversight on spending and being federally audited I had some QUESTIONS on their spending like how in 2023 management was paid $105k but $21k last year…. And how their IT budget ballooned from $3k in 2024 to $60k in 2025

I was telling Joe that for as much as they draw in ($1.8m reported from sales/memberships etc) I could do this on one FTE year round paid and put on a better con - this is embarrassing amateur work done by people who have never done a day of community engagement and it shows.
