About[edit]

This is a small online furry convention run by Unifox. It is on Discord, with most events in VRChat. It hasn't had many people attending yet, but hopes to grow much bigger in the next couple years. When the con becomes larger, Unifox hopes to bring it IRL where the convention is based (Fort St. John). In late 2023 it had a complete website rebuild, as part of a whole new system, allowing people to now create accounts on the site.

The con mascot Tecie

The T.E.C. logo design was based on the logo for the city the con is based in (Fort St. John).

Mascot[edit]

Tecie the fox (they/them) is the mascot for T.E.C. They were designed by Flare.[6]

Services[edit]

The Discord server has several chat rooms available prior to the event. During the convention, it offers several channels such as con info, a text chat for the main con floor, a chat with links to the VR instances being used for events, a chat for signing up for the dealer's den, some VC's for the main con floor, and chats for the dealer's den stations.

On VRChat, there are open instances in the virtual world such as the main landing area with rooms, and events that hosted in various worlds around. Once the opening is done, there is a hangout time, then the VRC world instance used for opening is kept up for the duration of the con. Once an event is done, the instance used is closed.

In 2022, T.E.C. added online games, a fursuit meet & greet, and DJ streams to its programming in an effort to expand beyond solely VR based events.[7]
