New Hotel
At the closing ceremonies of the 2012 convention, the Furnal Equinox convention committee announced the 2013 edition of the convention would take place at the Sheraton Toronto Airport Hotel and Conference Centre and presented a video to show off the new venue.

The new hotel provides 26,000 square feet of space exclusive to the convention &mdash; an increase of roughly 50% from the former space at the Doubletree &mdash; as well as the following:
 * More conference rooms for panels and programming, as well as an expanded Zoo
 * A larger dealers den
 * A hospitality lounge accessible directly from con space
 * A breakfast buffet and food carts provided by the hotel

Registration
Registration and Dealers Den signups opened to attendees on 30 July 2012.

For the first time, in addition to the attendee and sponsor levels from prior years, the convention added a supersponsor registration level. For an additional $95 above the regular admission, the supersponsor level provided access to all sponsor benefits plus an exclusive supersponsor luncheon and a custom engraved dog tag. Supersponsors also had their name printed in the conbook.
