'''Megaplex''' is a furry [[convention]] first held in March 2002 as '''[[Pawpet]] Megaplex'''. The latest edition, [[Megaplex XVII]], was held August 3-5, 2018 in [[Wikipedia:Orlando, Florida|Orlando]], [[Wikipedia:Florida|Florida]]. The convention's slogan is ''Florida Sun, Furry Fun''.

Megaplex's stated goal is to provide "a celebration of interactive arts and performance, with a primary focus on [[anthropomorphic]]s and fantasy".<ref>[http://www.megaplexcon.org/about About Megaplex] (22 September 2010)</ref> Programming has focused on [[fursuit]]ing, [[puppet]]ry, improvisation, and other types of performance.

Megaplex has featured musical performances by [[Wikipedia:Toxic_Audio|Toxic Audio]], [http://www.42five.com/ 4:2:Five], [[Hali|Matthew Ebel]], [[Fox Amoore]] and [[Rhubarb the Bear]], stage performances including musicals [[Julie Bunny Must Die!]] and [[Fosgate: Ferret Loan Officer]], and out-of-fandom honored guests including [[Wikipedia:Trace Beaulieu|Trace Beaulieu]], [[Wikipedia:Paul Zaloom|Paul Zaloom]] and [[Wikipedia:Noel MacNeal|Noel MacNeal]].

A variety of factors<ref name="candidcomments">''[http://community.livejournal.com/megaplex/24878.html Some Candid Comments on Megaplex, from the Chair]'' - [[Carl Fox]], {{lj-comm|megaplex}} (24 December 2006)</ref><ref>''[http://community.livejournal.com/megaplex/35393.html Goodbye, 2007...Hello, 2008!]'' - [[Carl Fox]], {{lj-comm|megaplex}} (7 March 2007)</ref> had caused Megaplex's attendance to fluctuate in its first decade, though it has been steadily increasing since 2010. The 2018 event had 2,602 in attendance, the highest to date.

'''Megaplex XVII''', was held August 3-5, 2018 at the Seaworld DoubleTree in Orlando, Florida. The theme of the convention was "[[ The Furnesian Islands]]", and the [[guests of honor]] were [[Panda_Paco|Panda Paco]] and [[Kyle_McCarthy|NIIC the Singing Dog]]

== Early History ==
{{Megaplex}}
'''Pawpet Megaplex''' came into being as a replacement for [[Furry Spring Break]], which was held in 2001. Furry Spring Break was unable to secure hotel space for a second convention in 2002, and folded. In its stead, Pawpet Live Experiences, Inc. was formed and on short notice held the first Pawpet Megaplex at the Ramada Resort and Convention Center in Orlando, FL. The convention supported the animal rescue C.A.R.E. Foundation, featuring a live animal presentation. The convention has continued to support the same charity each year.

The convention moved to the movie-themed Sheraton Studio City Resort for its second and third years, closer to [http://www.universalorlando.com/ Universal Studios Florida]. In 2003 the convention had its first [[guest of honor]], [[SueDeer|Susan Rankin]], and first of many musical guests, a capella group [[Wikipedia:Toxic_Audio|Toxic Audio]]. In 2004 Megaplex officially dropped the "Pawpet" from the name. '''Megaplex 3''' was the first year to make heavy use of the convention theme ("[[Wikipedia:MP3|MP3]]", derived from the abbreviation of the convention name) with posters and hallway decor.

The convention upgraded to larger quarters at the Sheraton World Resort, right next door to the [http://www.seaworld.com/ SeaWorld Orlando] theme park, from 2005 to 2006, continuing to introduce new traditions such as a Saturday Night "Rocky Horror Picture Show" viewing complete with staff members as cast members.

== The Jacksonville Years ==
Due to rising hotel costs in Orlando, Megaplex was forced to move in 2007 and chose the Wyndham Jacksonville Riverfront in Jacksonville, Florida where they remained through 2018. During this time Megaplex saw a drop in attendance which was expected due to the move.

== The Return to Orlando ==
Returning to the Orlando area, Megaplex was held at the Worldgate Resort in Kissimmee, Florida from 2009 to 2012, a short distance from [[Wikipedia:Walt Disney World|Walt Disney World]]'s main gate. The convention was rescheduled from March to late July to achieve better costs and hotel rates, and to help space the event out from the growing [[Furry Weekend Atlanta|FWA]]. The con expanded its meeting space to include a larger Dealer's Den, an Artist Alley, and lounge area dubbed "The Lair."

From 2013 to 2015 Megaplex returned to Orlando proper and expanded into larger meeting space at the Marriott Orlando Airport hotel. The convention has increased its focus on quality main events and immersive theming. At the end of [[Megaplex XIV]] it was announced that the convention would be moving in 2016 to the Embassy Suites - Lake Buena Vista South in Kissimmee to accommodate the convention's growth.

After only 1 year Megaplex had outgrown the Embassy Suites - Lake Buena Vista South and at closing ceremonies of [[Megaplex XV]] announced that it would be moving to the Seaworld DoubleTree in Orlando, FL for [[Megaplex XVI]]. Megaplex had previously been held at this property for [[Megaplex 4]] and [[Megaplex 5]] when it was the Sheraton World Resort.

Megaplex remained at the Seaworld DoubleTree in Orlando, FL for [[Megaplex XVI]] and [[Megaplex XVII]]. While the new space was completed for use during the second year Megaplex's growth made it difficult to hold a 3rd year at this venue. It was announced at the end of [[Megaplex XVII]] that Megaplex would be moving to the Caribe Royale in Orlando, FL.

== Going Nonprofit==
It was announced that Megaplex would be seeking 501(c)(3) status under the newly setup corporation Florida United Furry Fandom Inc. (FLUFF Inc.) at the end of closing ceremonies of [[Megaplex XVII]]. The new corporation was setup and all assets were transferred to the new Florida Nonprofit corporation. On May 18th, 2019 FLUFF Inc. received notice from the IRS that their 501(c)(3) status was approved.

== Innovations ==
Megaplex has introduced many ideas to augment the convention's programming and atmosphere:

* Pre-registered attendees can provide a personal avatar to appear on their convention badge.
* Megaplex was the first furry convention to introduce a convention fursuit mascot, Pounce the Panther, in 2008.
* Starting in 2012, Megaplex has created a commemorative poster celebrating each year's convention. One copy of the poster is offered for sale at the convention's charity auction.
* Collectible glassware is given to all attendees.<ref>https://twitter.com/TheDanteOxalis/status/441613535224008705 Twitter photo of a Megaplex mug found at a Goodwill store</ref>
* Megaplex offers high dollar member levels above supersponsors, Megasponsor and Gigasponsor. Both receive all the perks of a Supersponsor level, plus special unique gifts each year such as engraved pocketwatches.
* Game show concepts have been introduced such as "Fursuit Deal or Big Deal," partly mirroring ''[[Wikipedia:Deal or No Deal|Deal or No Deal]]'', with fursuiters instead of models.
* The convention's main events have been streamed live online since 2005.
* An exclusive hospitality lounge with hot meals is provided to sponsor and higher level attendees.
* The convention has donated "con badge number 1" for the following year in the charity auction since 2010. This badge number is usually reserved for convention chairman. The auctioning of badge number 1 raised over $300 for charity in 2010.
* Hall prizes called "Achievements" are awarded to attendees who accomplish them at any point during the convention. Most achievements are typically kept secret until the time they are rewarded.
* Megaplex archives all of its past con books, artwork, badge imagery, photos and videos on-line, available for all individuals to view on its web site.

== Mascot ==

Megaplex's mascot is Pounce the Panther, a [[W:Florida panther|Florida panther]] (an endangered subspecies of cougar).<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150324051307/https://megaplexcon.org/index.php?q=about#pounce Megaplex website - About us, #Meet Pounce the Panther] on Megaplex website, archived 2015 March 24 at archive.org Wayback Machine. Retrieved 2015 July 31.</ref> Pounce was introduced as the Megaplex fursuit mascot, in 2008 at '''Megaplex 7''', as Megapanther to match the comic book theme of that year's Megaplex. Pounce is seen at Megaplex in a costume that matches that year's theme.

The 2018 event had 2,602 in attendance, the highest to date.

'''Megaplex XVII''', was held August 3-5, 2018 at the Seaworld DoubleTree in Orlando, Florida. The theme of the convention was "[[ The Furnesian Islands]]", and the [[guests of honor]] were [[Panda_Paco|Panda Paco]] and [[Kyle_McCarthy|NIIC the Singing Dog]]

== Early History ==
{{Megaplex}}
'''Pawpet Megaplex''' came into being as a replacement for [[Furry Spring Break]], which was held in 2001. Furry Spring Break was unable to secure hotel space for a second convention in 2002, and folded. In its stead, Pawpet Live Experiences, Inc. was formed and on short notice held the first Pawpet Megaplex at the Ramada Resort and Convention Center in Orlando, FL. The convention supported the animal rescue C.A.R.E. Foundation, featuring a live animal presentation. The convention has continued to support the same charity each year.

The convention moved to the movie-themed Sheraton Studio City Resort for its second and third years, closer to [http://www.universalorlando.com/ Universal Studios Florida]. In 2003 the convention had its first [[guest of honor]], [[SueDeer|Susan Rankin]], and first of many musical guests, a capella group [[Wikipedia:Toxic_Audio|Toxic Audio]]. In 2004 Megaplex officially dropped the "Pawpet" from the name. '''Megaplex 3''' was the first year to make heavy use of the convention theme ("[[Wikipedia:MP3|MP3]]", derived from the abbreviation of the convention name) with posters and hallway decor.

The convention upgraded to larger quarters at the Sheraton World Resort, right next door to the [http://www.seaworld.com/ SeaWorld Orlando] theme park, from 2005 to 2006, continuing to introduce new traditions such as a Saturday Night "Rocky Horror Picture Show" viewing complete with staff members as cast members.

== The Jacksonville Years ==
Due to rising hotel costs in Orlando, Megaplex was forced to move in 2007 and chose the Wyndham Jacksonville Riverfront in Jacksonville, Florida where they remained through 2018. During this time Megaplex saw a drop in attendance which was expected due to the move.

== The Return to Orlando ==
Returning to the Orlando area, Megaplex was held at the Worldgate Resort in Kissimmee, Florida from 2009 to 2012, a short distance from [[Wikipedia:Walt Disney World|Walt Disney World]]'s main gate. The convention was rescheduled from March to late July to achieve better costs and hotel rates, and to help space the event out from the growing [[Furry Weekend Atlanta|FWA]]. The con expanded its meeting space to include a larger Dealer's Den, an Artist Alley, and lounge area dubbed "The Lair."

From 2013 to 2015 Megaplex returned to Orlando proper and expanded into larger meeting space at the Marriott Orlando Airport hotel. The convention has increased its focus on quality main events and immersive theming. At the end of [[Megaplex XIV]] it was announced that the convention would be moving in 2016 to the Embassy Suites - Lake Buena Vista South in Kissimmee to accommodate the convention's growth.

After only 1 year Megaplex had outgrown the Embassy Suites - Lake Buena Vista South and at closing ceremonies of [[Megaplex XV]] announced that it would be moving to the Seaworld DoubleTree in Orlando, FL for [[Megaplex XVI]]. Megaplex had previously been held at this property for [[Megaplex 4]] and [[Megaplex 5]] when it was the Sheraton World Resort.

Megaplex remained at the Seaworld DoubleTree in Orlando, FL for [[Megaplex XVI]] and [[Megaplex XVII]]. While the new space was completed for use during the second year Megaplex's growth made it difficult to hold a 3rd year at this venue. It was announced at the end of [[Megaplex XVII]] that Megaplex would be moving to the Caribe Royale in Orlando, FL.

== Going Nonprofit==
It was announced that Megaplex would be seeking 501(c)(3) status under the newly setup corporation Florida United Furry Fandom Inc. (FLUFF Inc.) at the end of closing ceremonies of [[Megaplex XVII]]. The new corporation was setup and all assets were transferred to the new Florida Nonprofit corporation. On May 18th, 2019 FLUFF Inc. received notice from the IRS that their 501(c)(3) status was approved.

Pounce is seen at Megaplex in a costume that matches that year's theme.

'''Megaplex''' is a furry [[convention]] first held in March 2002 as '''[[Pawpet]] Megaplex'''. The latest edition, [[Megaplex XVII]], was held August 3-5, 2018 in [[Wikipedia:Orlando, Florida|Orlando]], [[Wikipedia:Florida|Florida]]. The convention's slogan is ''Florida Sun, Furry Fun''.

Megaplex's stated goal is to provide "a celebration of interactive arts and performance, with a primary focus on [[anthropomorphic]]s and fantasy".<ref>[http://www.megaplexcon.org/about About Megaplex] (22 September 2010)</ref> Programming has focused on [[fursuit]]ing, [[puppet]]ry, improvisation, and other types of performance.

Megaplex has featured musical performances by [[Wikipedia:Toxic_Audio|Toxic Audio]], [http://www.42five.com/ 4:2:Five], [[Hali|Matthew Ebel]], [[Fox Amoore]] and [[Rhubarb the Bear]], stage performances including musicals [[Julie Bunny Must Die!]] and [[Fosgate: Ferret Loan Officer]], and out-of-fandom honored guests including [[Wikipedia:Trace Beaulieu|Trace Beaulieu]], [[Wikipedia:Paul Zaloom|Paul Zaloom]] and [[Wikipedia:Noel MacNeal|Noel MacNeal]].

A variety of factors<ref name="candidcomments">''[http://community.livejournal.com/megaplex/24878.html Some Candid Comments on Megaplex, from the Chair]'' - [[Carl Fox]], {{lj-comm|megaplex}} (24 December 2006)</ref><ref>''[http://community.livejournal.com/megaplex/35393.html Goodbye, 2007...Hello, 2008!]'' - [[Carl Fox]], {{lj-comm|megaplex}} (7 March 2007)</ref> had caused Megaplex's attendance to fluctuate in its first decade, though it has been steadily increasing since 2010. The 2018 event had 2,602 in attendance, the highest to date.

'''Megaplex XVII''', was held August 3-5, 2018 at the Seaworld DoubleTree in Orlando, Florida. The theme of the convention was "[[ The Furnesian Islands]]", and the [[guests of honor]] were [[Panda_Paco|Panda Paco]] and [[Kyle_McCarthy|NIIC the Singing Dog]]

== Early History ==
{{Megaplex}}
'''Pawpet Megaplex''' came into being as a replacement for [[Furry Spring Break]], which was held in 2001. Furry Spring Break was unable to secure hotel space for a second convention in 2002, and folded. In its stead, Pawpet Live Experiences, Inc. was formed and on short notice held the first Pawpet Megaplex at the Ramada Resort and Convention Center in Orlando, FL. The convention supported the animal rescue C.A.R.E. Foundation, featuring a live animal presentation. The convention has continued to support the same charity each year.

The convention moved to the movie-themed Sheraton Studio City Resort for its second and third years, closer to [http://www.universalorlando.com/ Universal Studios Florida]. In 2003 the convention had its first [[guest of honor]], [[SueDeer|Susan Rankin]], and first of many musical guests, a capella group [[Wikipedia:Toxic_Audio|Toxic Audio]]. In 2004 Megaplex officially dropped the "Pawpet" from the name. '''Megaplex 3''' was the first year to make heavy use of the convention theme ("[[Wikipedia:MP3|MP3]]", derived from the abbreviation of the convention name) with posters and hallway decor.

The convention upgraded to larger quarters at the Sheraton World Resort, right next door to the [http://www.seaworld.com/ SeaWorld Orlando] theme park, from 2005 to 2006, continuing to introduce new traditions such as a Saturday Night "Rocky Horror Picture Show" viewing complete with staff members as cast members.

== The Jacksonville Years ==
Due to rising hotel costs in Orlando, Megaplex was forced to move in 2007 and chose the Wyndham Jacksonville Riverfront in Jacksonville, Florida where they remained through 2018. During this time Megaplex saw a drop in attendance which was expected due to the move.

== The Return to Orlando ==
Returning to the Orlando area, Megaplex was held at the Worldgate Resort in Kissimmee, Florida from 2009 to 2012, a short distance from [[Wikipedia:Walt Disney World|Walt Disney World]]'s main gate. The convention was rescheduled from March to late July to achieve better costs and hotel rates, and to help space the event out from the growing [[Furry Weekend Atlanta|FWA]]. The con expanded its meeting space to include a larger Dealer's Den, an Artist Alley, and lounge area dubbed "The Lair."

From 2013 to 2015 Megaplex returned to Orlando proper and expanded into larger meeting space at the Marriott Orlando Airport hotel. The convention has increased its focus on quality main events and immersive theming. At the end of [[Megaplex XIV]] it was announced that the convention would be moving in 2016 to the Embassy Suites - Lake Buena Vista South in Kissimmee to accommodate the convention's growth.

After only 1 year Megaplex had outgrown the Embassy Suites - Lake Buena Vista South and at closing ceremonies of [[Megaplex XV]] announced that it would be moving to the Seaworld DoubleTree in Orlando, FL for [[Megaplex XVI]]. Megaplex had previously been held at this property for [[Megaplex 4]] and [[Megaplex 5]] when it was the Sheraton World Resort.

Megaplex remained at the Seaworld DoubleTree in Orlando, FL for [[Megaplex XVI]] and [[Megaplex XVII]]. While the new space was completed for use during the second year Megaplex's growth made it difficult to hold a 3rd year at this venue. It was announced at the end of [[Megaplex XVII]] that Megaplex would be moving to the Caribe Royale in Orlando, FL.

== Going Nonprofit==
It was announced that Megaplex would be seeking 501(c)(3) status under the newly setup corporation Florida United Furry Fandom Inc. (FLUFF Inc.) at the end of closing ceremonies of [[Megaplex XVII]]. The new corporation was setup and all assets were transferred to the new Florida Nonprofit corporation. On May 18th, 2019 FLUFF Inc. received notice from the IRS that their 501(c)(3) status was approved.

== Innovations ==
Megaplex has introduced many ideas to augment the convention's programming and atmosphere:

* Pre-registered attendees can provide a personal avatar to appear on their convention badge.
* Megaplex was the first furry convention to introduce a convention fursuit mascot, Pounce the Panther, in 2008.
* Starting in 2012, Megaplex has created a commemorative poster celebrating each year's convention. One copy of the poster is offered for sale at the convention's charity auction.
* Collectible glassware is given to all attendees.<ref>https://twitter.com/TheDanteOxalis/status/441613535224008705 Twitter photo of a Megaplex mug found at a Goodwill store</ref>
* Megaplex offers high dollar member levels above supersponsors, Megasponsor and Gigasponsor. Both receive all the perks of a Supersponsor level, plus special unique gifts each year such as engraved pocketwatches.
* Game show concepts have been introduced such as "Fursuit Deal or Big Deal," partly mirroring ''[[Wikipedia:Deal or No Deal|Deal or No Deal]]'', with fursuiters instead of models.
* The convention's main events have been streamed live online since 2005.
* An exclusive hospitality lounge with hot meals is provided to sponsor and higher level attendees.
* The convention has donated "con badge number 1" for the following year in the charity auction since 2010. This badge number is usually reserved for convention chairman. The auctioning of badge number 1 raised over $300 for charity in 2010.
* Hall prizes called "Achievements" are awarded to attendees who accomplish them at any point during the convention. Most achievements are typically kept secret until the time they are rewarded.
* Megaplex archives all of its past con books, artwork, badge imagery, photos and videos on-line, available for all individuals to view on its web site.

In its stead, Pawpet Live Experiences, Inc. was formed and on short notice held the first Pawpet Megaplex at the Ramada Resort and Convention Center in Orlando, FL. The convention supported the animal rescue C.A.R.E. Foundation, featuring a live animal presentation. The convention has continued to support the same charity each year.

The convention moved to the movie-themed Sheraton Studio City Resort for its second and third years, closer to [http://www.universalorlando.com/ Universal Studios Florida]. In 2003 the convention had its first [[guest of honor]], [[SueDeer|Susan Rankin]], and first of many musical guests, a capella group [[Wikipedia:Toxic_Audio|Toxic Audio]]. In 2004 Megaplex officially dropped the "Pawpet" from the name. '''Megaplex 3''' was the first year to make heavy use of the convention theme ("[[Wikipedia:MP3|MP3]]", derived from the abbreviation of the convention name) with posters and hallway decor.

The convention upgraded to larger quarters at the Sheraton World Resort, right next door to the [http://www.seaworld.com/ SeaWorld Orlando] theme park, from 2005 to 2006, continuing to introduce new traditions such as a Saturday Night "Rocky Horror Picture Show" viewing complete with staff members as cast members.

== The Jacksonville Years ==
Due to rising hotel costs in Orlando, Megaplex was forced to move in 2007 and chose the Wyndham Jacksonville Riverfront in Jacksonville, Florida where they remained through 2018. During this time Megaplex saw a drop in attendance which was expected due to the move.

== The Return to Orlando ==
Returning to the Orlando area, Megaplex was held at the Worldgate Resort in Kissimmee, Florida from 2009 to 2012, a short distance from [[Wikipedia:Walt Disney World|Walt Disney World]]'s main gate. The convention was rescheduled from March to late July to achieve better costs and hotel rates, and to help space the event out from the growing [[Furry Weekend Atlanta|FWA]]. The con expanded its meeting space to include a larger Dealer's Den, an Artist Alley, and lounge area dubbed "The Lair."

From 2013 to 2015 Megaplex returned to Orlando proper and expanded into larger meeting space at the Marriott Orlando Airport hotel. The convention has increased its focus on quality main events and immersive theming. At the end of [[Megaplex XIV]] it was announced that the convention would be moving in 2016 to the Embassy Suites - Lake Buena Vista South in Kissimmee to accommodate the convention's growth.

After only 1 year Megaplex had outgrown the Embassy Suites - Lake Buena Vista South and at closing ceremonies of [[Megaplex XV]] announced that it would be moving to the Seaworld DoubleTree in Orlando, FL for [[Megaplex XVI]]. Megaplex had previously been held at this property for [[Megaplex 4]] and [[Megaplex 5]] when it was the Sheraton World Resort.

Megaplex remained at the Seaworld DoubleTree in Orlando, FL for [[Megaplex XVI]] and [[Megaplex XVII]]. While the new space was completed for use during the second year Megaplex's growth made it difficult to hold a 3rd year at this venue. It was announced at the end of [[Megaplex XVII]] that Megaplex would be moving to the Caribe Royale in Orlando, FL.

== Going Nonprofit==
It was announced that Megaplex would be seeking 501(c)(3) status under the newly setup corporation Florida United Furry Fandom Inc. (FLUFF Inc.) at the end of closing ceremonies of [[Megaplex XVII]]. The new corporation was setup and all assets were transferred to the new Florida Nonprofit corporation. On May 18th, 2019 FLUFF Inc. received notice from the IRS that their 501(c)(3) status was approved.

== Innovations ==
Megaplex has introduced many ideas to augment the convention's programming and atmosphere:

* Pre-registered attendees can provide a personal avatar to appear on their convention badge.
* Megaplex was the first furry convention to introduce a convention fursuit mascot, Pounce the Panther, in 2008.
* Starting in 2012, Megaplex has created a commemorative poster celebrating each year's convention. One copy of the poster is offered for sale at the convention's charity auction.
* Collectible glassware is given to all attendees.<ref>https://twitter.com/TheDanteOxalis/status/441613535224008705 Twitter photo of a Megaplex mug found at a Goodwill store</ref>
* Megaplex offers high dollar member levels above supersponsors, Megasponsor and Gigasponsor. Both receive all the perks of a Supersponsor level, plus special unique gifts each year such as engraved pocketwatches.
* Game show concepts have been introduced such as "Fursuit Deal or Big Deal," partly mirroring ''[[Wikipedia:Deal or No Deal|Deal or No Deal]]'', with fursuiters instead of models.
* The convention's main events have been streamed live online since 2005.
* An exclusive hospitality lounge with hot meals is provided to sponsor and higher level attendees.
* The convention has donated "con badge number 1" for the following year in the charity auction since 2010. This badge number is usually reserved for convention chairman. The auctioning of badge number 1 raised over $300 for charity in 2010.
* Hall prizes called "Achievements" are awarded to attendees who accomplish them at any point during the convention. Most achievements are typically kept secret until the time they are rewarded.
* Megaplex archives all of its past con books, artwork, badge imagery, photos and videos on-line, available for all individuals to view on its web site.

== Mascot ==

Megaplex's mascot is Pounce the Panther, a [[W:Florida panther|Florida panther]] (an endangered subspecies of cougar).<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150324051307/https://megaplexcon.org/index.php?q=about#pounce Megaplex website - About us, #Meet Pounce the Panther] on Megaplex website, archived 2015 March 24 at archive.org Wayback Machine. Retrieved 2015 July 31.</ref> Pounce was introduced as the Megaplex fursuit mascot, in 2008 at '''Megaplex 7''', as Megapanther to match the comic book theme of that year's Megaplex. Pounce is seen at Megaplex in a costume that matches that year's theme.

'''Megaplex''' is a furry [[convention]] first held in March 2002 as '''[[Pawpet]] Megaplex'''. The latest edition, [[Megaplex XVI]], was held August 4-6, 2017 in [[Wikipedia:Orlando, Florida|Orlando]], [[Wikipedia:Florida|Florida]]. The convention's slogan is ''Florida Sun, Furry Fun''.

Megaplex's stated goal is to provide "a celebration of interactive arts and performance, with a primary focus on [[anthropomorphic]]s and fantasy".<ref>[http://www.megaplexcon.org/about About Megaplex] (22 September 2010)</ref> Programming has focused on [[fursuit]]ing, [[puppet]]ry, improvisation, and other types of performance.

Megaplex has featured musical performances by [[Wikipedia:Toxic_Audio|Toxic Audio]], [http://www.42five.com/ 4:2:Five], [[Hali|Matthew Ebel]], [[Fox Amoore]] and [[Rhubarb the Bear]], stage performances including musicals [[Julie Bunny Must Die!]] and [[Fosgate: Ferret Loan Officer]], and out-of-fandom honored guests including [[Wikipedia:Trace Beaulieu|Trace Beaulieu]], [[Wikipedia:Paul Zaloom|Paul Zaloom]] and [[Wikipedia:Noel MacNeal|Noel MacNeal]].

The 2017 event had 2,430 in attendance, the highest to date.

'''Megaplex XVI''', was held August 4-6, 2017 at the Seaworld DoubleTree in Orlando, Florida. The theme of the convention was "[[w:Mega Quest: The Wrath of Con|Mega Quest: The Wrath of Con]]", and the [[guests of honor]] were [[Kodi (Canada)]] and [[Rick Griffin]].

== History ==
{{Megaplex}}
'''Pawpet Megaplex''' came into being as a replacement for [[Furry Spring Break]], which was held in 2001. Furry Spring Break was unable to secure hotel space for a second convention in 2002, and folded. In its stead, Pawpet Live Experiences, Inc. was formed and on short notice held the first Pawpet Megaplex at the Ramada Resort and Convention Center in Orlando, FL. The convention supported the animal rescue C.A.R.E. Foundation, featuring a live animal presentation. The convention has continued to support the same charity each year.

The convention moved to the movie-themed Sheraton Studio City Resort for its second and third years, closer to [http://www.universalorlando.com/ Universal Studios Florida]. In 2003 the convention had its first [[guest of honor]], [[SueDeer|Susan Rankin]], and first of many musical guests, a capella group [[Wikipedia:Toxic_Audio|Toxic Audio]]. In 2004 Megaplex officially dropped the "Pawpet" from the name. '''Megaplex 3''' was the first year to make heavy use of the convention theme ("[[Wikipedia:MP3|MP3]]", derived from the abbreviation of the convention name) with posters and hallway decor.

The convention upgraded to larger quarters at the Sheraton World Resort, right next door to the [http://www.seaworld.com/ SeaWorld Orlando] theme park, from 2005 to 2006, continuing to introduce new traditions such as a Saturday Night "Rocky Horror Picture Show" viewing complete with staff members as cast members.

Due to rising hotel costs in Orlando, Megaplex temporarily moved in 2007 and 2008 the Wyndham Jacksonville Riverfront in Jacksonville, Florida.

Returning to the Orlando area, Megaplex was held at the Worldgate Resort in Kissimmee, Florida from 2009 to 2012, a short distance from [[Wikipedia:Walt Disney World|Walt Disney World]]'s main gate. The convention was rescheduled from March to late July to achieve better costs and hotel rates, and to help space the event out from the growing [[Furry Weekend Atlanta|FWA]]. The con expanded its meeting space to include a larger Dealer's Den, an Artist Alley, and lounge area dubbed "The Lair."

From 2013 to 2015 Megaplex returned to Orlando proper and expanded into larger meeting space at the Marriott Orlando Airport hotel. The convention has increased its focus on quality main events and immersive theming. At the end of [[Megaplex XIV]] it was announced that the convention would be moving in 2016 to the Embassy Suites - Lake Buena Vista South in Kissimmee to accommodate the convention's growth.

After only 1 year Megaplex had outgrown the Embassy Suites - Lake Buena Vista South and at closing ceremonies of [[Megaplex XV]] announced that it would be moving to the Seaworld DoubleTree in Orlando, FL for [[Megaplex XVI]]. Megaplex had previously been held at this property for [[Megaplex 4]] and [[Megaplex 5]] when it was the Sheraton World Resort.

* Megaplex offers high dollar member levels above supersponsors, Megasponsor and Gigasponsor. Both receive all the perks of a Supersponsor level, plus special unique gifts each year such as engraved pocketwatches.
* Game show concepts have been introduced such as "Fursuit Deal or Big Deal," partly mirroring ''[[Wikipedia:Deal or No Deal|Deal or No Deal]]'', with fursuiters instead of models.
* The convention's main events have been streamed live online since 2005.
* An exclusive hospitality lounge with hot meals is provided to sponsor and higher level attendees.
* The convention has donated "con badge number 1" for the following year in the charity auction since 2010. This badge number is usually reserved for convention chairman. The auctioning of badge number 1 raised over $300 for charity in 2010.
* Hall prizes called "Achievements" are awarded to attendees who accomplish them at any point during the convention. Most achievements are typically kept secret until the time they are rewarded.
* Megaplex archives all of its past con books, artwork, badge imagery, photos and videos on-line, available for all individuals to view on its web site.

'''Megaplex''' is a furry [[convention]] first held in March 2002 as '''[[Pawpet]] Megaplex'''. The latest edition, [[Megaplex XIV]], was held July 31-Aug 2, 2015 in [[Wikipedia:Orlando, Florida|Orlando]], [[Wikipedia:Florida|Florida]]. The convention's slogan is ''Florida Sun, Furry Fun''.

Megaplex's stated goal is to provide "a celebration of interactive arts and performance, with a primary focus on [[anthropomorphic]]s and fantasy".<ref>[http://www.megaplexcon.org/about About Megaplex] (22 September 2010)</ref> Programming has focused on [[fursuit]]ing, [[puppet]]ry, improvisation, and other types of performance.

Megaplex has featured musical performances by [[Wikipedia:Toxic_Audio|Toxic Audio]], [http://www.42five.com/ 4:2:Five], [[Hali|Matthew Ebel]], [[Fox Amoore]] and [[Rhubarb the Bear]], stage performances including musicals [[Julie Bunny Must Die!]] and [[Fosgate: Ferret Loan Officer]], and out-of-fandom honored guests including [[Wikipedia:Trace Beaulieu|Trace Beaulieu]], [[Wikipedia:Paul Zaloom|Paul Zaloom]] and [[Wikipedia:Noel MacNeal|Noel MacNeal]].

A variety of factors<ref name="candidcomments">''[http://community.livejournal.com/megaplex/24878.html Some Candid Comments on Megaplex, from the Chair]'' - [[Carl Fox]], {{lj-comm|megaplex}} (24 December 2006)</ref><ref>''[http://community.livejournal.com/megaplex/35393.html Goodbye, 2007...Hello, 2008!]'' - [[Carl Fox]], {{lj-comm|megaplex}} (7 March 2007)</ref> had caused Megaplex's attendance to fluctuate in its first decade, though it has been steadily increasing since 2010. The 2015 event had 1,472 in attendance, the highest to date.

'''Megaplex XV''', is scheduled for August 5-7, 2016 at the Embassy Suites - Lake Buena Vista South in Kissimmee, FL, with the theme "British Invasion." The Guests of Honor will be [[Kenket]] and [[Cosmic Wuffy]]. The convention has negotiated a full hotel buyout, along with a complimentary breakfast and cocktail hour each day for hotel guests<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILfrAIavOLw Megaplex 2016: British Invasion New Hotel Embassy Suites (YouTube)]</ref>.

== History ==
{{Megaplex}}
'''Pawpet Megaplex''' came into being as a replacement for [[Furry Spring Break]], which was held in 2001. Furry Spring Break was unable to secure hotel space for a second convention in 2002, and folded. In its stead, Pawpet Live Experiences, Inc. was formed and on short notice held the first Pawpet Megaplex at the Ramada Resort and Convention Center in Orlando, FL. The convention supported the animal rescue C.A.R.E. Foundation, featuring a live animal presentation. The convention has continued to support the same charity each year.

The convention moved to the movie-themed Sheraton Studio City Resort for its second and third years, closer to [http://www.universalorlando.com/ Universal Studios Florida]. In 2003 the convention had its first [[guest of honor]], [[SueDeer|Susan Rankin]], and first of many musical guests, a capella group [[Wikipedia:Toxic_Audio|Toxic Audio]]. In 2004 Megaplex officially dropped the "Pawpet" from the name. '''Megaplex 3''' was the first year to make heavy use of the convention theme ("[[Wikipedia:MP3|MP3]]", derived from the abbreviation of the convention name) with posters and hallway decor.

The convention upgraded to larger quarters at the Sheraton World Resort, right next door to the [http://www.seaworld.com/ SeaWorld Orlando] theme park, from 2005 to 2006, continuing to introduce new traditions such as a Saturday Night "Rocky Horror Picture Show" viewing complete with staff members as cast members.

Due to rising hotel costs in Orlando, Megaplex temporarily moved in 2007 and 2008 the Wyndham Jacksonville Riverfront in Jacksonville, Florida.

Returning to the Orlando area, Megaplex was held at the Worldgate Resort in Kissimmee, Florida from 2009 to 2012, a short distance from [[Wikipedia:Walt Disney World|Walt Disney World]]'s main gate. The convention was rescheduled from March to late July to achieve better costs and hotel rates, and to help space the event out from the growing [[Furry Weekend Atlanta|FWA]]. The con expanded its meeting space to include a larger Dealer's Den, an Artist Alley, and lounge area dubbed "The Lair."

From 2013 to 2015 Megaplex returned to Orlando proper and expanded into larger meeting space at the Marriott Orlando Airport hotel. The convention has increased its focus on quality main events and immersive theming. At the end of [[Megaplex XIV]] it was announced that the convention would be moving in 2016 to the Embassy Suites - Lake Buena Vista South in Kissimmee to accommodate the convention's growth.

After only 1 year Megaplex had outgrown the Embassy Suites - Lake Buena Vista South and at closing ceremonies of [[Megaplex XV]] announced that it would be moving to the Seaworld DoubleTree in Orlando, FL for [[Megaplex XVI]]. Megaplex had previously been held at this property for [[Megaplex 4]] and [[Megaplex 5]] when it was the Sheraton World Resort.

== Innovations ==
Megaplex has introduced many ideas to augment the convention's programming and atmosphere:

* Pre-registered attendees can provide a personal avatar to appear on their convention badge.
* Megaplex was the first furry convention to introduce a convention fursuit mascot, Pounce the Panther, in 2008.
* Starting in 2012, Megaplex has created a commemorative poster celebrating each year's convention. One copy of the poster is offered for sale at the convention's charity auction.
* Collectible glassware is given to all attendees.<ref>https://twitter.com/TheDanteOxalis/status/441613535224008705 Twitter photo of a Megaplex mug found at a Goodwill store</ref>
* Megaplex offers high dollar member levels above supersponsors, Megasponsor and Gigasponsor. Both receive all the perks of a Supersponsor level, plus special unique gifts each year such as engraved pocketwatches.
* Game show concepts have been introduced such as "Fursuit Deal or Big Deal," partly mirroring ''[[Wikipedia:Deal or No Deal|Deal or No Deal]]'', with fursuiters instead of models.
* The convention's main events have been streamed live online since 2005.
* An exclusive hospitality lounge with hot meals is provided to sponsor and higher level attendees.
* The convention has donated "con badge number 1" for the following year in the charity auction since 2010. This badge number is usually reserved for convention chairman. The auctioning of badge number 1 raised over $300 for charity in 2010.
* Hall prizes called "Achievements" are awarded to attendees who accomplish them at any point during the convention. Most achievements are typically kept secret until the time they are rewarded.
* Megaplex archives all of its past con books, artwork, badge imagery, photos and videos on-line, available for all individuals to view on its web site.

'''Megaplex''' is a furry [[convention]] first held in March 2002 as '''[[Pawpet]] Megaplex'''. The latest edition, [[Megaplex XIV]], was held July 31-Aug 2, 2015 in [[Wikipedia:Orlando, Florida|Orlando]], [[Wikipedia:Florida|Florida]]. The convention's slogan is ''Florida Sun, Furry Fun''.

Megaplex's stated goal is to provide "a celebration of interactive arts and performance, with a primary focus on [[anthropomorphic]]s and fantasy".<ref>[http://www.megaplexcon.org/about About Megaplex] (22 September 2010)</ref> Programming has focused on [[fursuit]]ing, [[puppet]]ry, improvisation, and other types of performance.

Megaplex has featured musical performances by [[Wikipedia:Toxic_Audio|Toxic Audio]], [http://www.42five.com/ 4:2:Five], [[Hali|Matthew Ebel]], [[Fox Amoore]] and [[Rhubarb the Bear]], stage performances including musicals [[Julie Bunny Must Die!]] and [[Fosgate: Ferret Loan Officer]], and out-of-fandom honored guests including [[Wikipedia:Trace Beaulieu|Trace Beaulieu]], [[Wikipedia:Paul Zaloom|Paul Zaloom]] and [[Wikipedia:Noel MacNeal|Noel MacNeal]].

A variety of factors<ref name="candidcomments">''[http://community.livejournal.com/megaplex/24878.html Some Candid Comments on Megaplex, from the Chair]'' - [[Carl Fox]], {{lj-comm|megaplex}} (24 December 2006)</ref><ref>''[http://community.livejournal.com/megaplex/35393.html Goodbye, 2007...Hello, 2008!]'' - [[Carl Fox]], {{lj-comm|megaplex}} (7 March 2007)</ref> had caused Megaplex's attendance to fluctuate in its first decade, though it has been steadily increasing since 2010. The 2015 event had 1,472 in attendance, the highest to date.

'''Megaplex XV''', is scheduled for August 5-7, 2016 at the Embassy Suites - Lake Buena Vista South in Kissimmee, FL, with the theme "British Invasion." The Guests of Honor will be [[Kenket]] and [[Cosmic Wuffy]]. The convention has negotiated a full hotel buyout, along with a complimentary breakfast and cocktail hour each day for hotel guests<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILfrAIavOLw Megaplex 2016: British Invasion New Hotel Embassy Suites (YouTube)]</ref>.

== History ==
{{Megaplex}}
'''Pawpet Megaplex''' came into being as a replacement for [[Furry Spring Break]], which was held in 2001. Furry Spring Break was unable to secure hotel space for a second convention in 2002, and folded. In its stead, Pawpet Live Experiences, Inc. was formed and on short notice held the first Pawpet Megaplex at the Ramada Resort and Convention Center in Orlando, FL. The convention supported the animal rescue C.A.R.E. Foundation, featuring a live animal presentation. The convention has continued to support the same charity each year.

The convention moved to the movie-themed Sheraton Studio City Resort for its second and third years, closer to [http://www.universalorlando.com/ Universal Studios Florida]. In 2003 the convention had its first [[guest of honor]], [[SueDeer|Susan Rankin]], and first of many musical guests, a capella group [[Wikipedia:Toxic_Audio|Toxic Audio]]. In 2004 Megaplex officially dropped the "Pawpet" from the name. '''Megaplex 3''' was the first year to make heavy use of the convention theme ("[[Wikipedia:MP3|MP3]]", derived from the abbreviation of the convention name) with posters and hallway decor.

The convention upgraded to larger quarters at the Sheraton World Resort, right next door to the [http://www.seaworld.com/ SeaWorld Orlando] theme park, from 2005 to 2006, continuing to introduce new traditions such as a Saturday Night "Rocky Horror Picture Show" viewing complete with staff members as cast members.

Due to rising hotel costs in Orlando, Megaplex temporarily moved in 2007 and 2008 the Wyndham Jacksonville Riverfront in Jacksonville, Florida.

Returning to the Orlando area, Megaplex was held at the Worldgate Resort in Kissimmee, Florida from 2009 to 2012, a short distance from [[Wikipedia:Walt Disney World|Walt Disney World]]'s main gate. The convention was rescheduled from March to late July to achieve better costs and hotel rates, and to help space the event out from the growing [[Furry Weekend Atlanta|FWA]]. The con expanded its meeting space to include a larger Dealer's Den, an Artist Alley, and lounge area dubbed "The Lair."

From 2013 to 2015 Megaplex returned to Orlando proper and expanded into larger meeting space at the Marriott Orlando Airport hotel. The convention has increased its focus on quality main events and immersive theming. At the end of [[Megaplex XIV]] it was announced that the convention would be moving in 2016 to the Embassy Suites - Lake Buena Vista South in Kissimmee to accommodate the convention's growth.

After only 1 year Megaplex had outgrown the Embassy Suites - Lake Buena Vista South and at closing ceremonies of [[Megaplex XV]] announced that it would be moving to the Seaworld DoubleTree in Orlando, FL for [[Megaplex XVI]]. Megaplex had previously been held at this property for [[Megaplex 4]] and [[Megaplex 5]] when it was the Sheraton World Resort.

== Innovations ==
Megaplex has introduced many ideas to augment the convention's programming and atmosphere:

* Pre-registered attendees can provide a personal avatar to appear on their convention badge.
* Megaplex was the first furry convention to introduce a convention fursuit mascot, Pounce the Panther, in 2008.
* Starting in 2012, Megaplex has created a commemorative poster celebrating each year's convention. One copy of the poster is offered for sale at the convention's charity auction.
* Collectible glassware is given to all attendees.<ref>https://twitter.com/TheDanteOxalis/status/441613535224008705 Twitter photo of a Megaplex mug found at a Goodwill store</ref>
* Megaplex offers high dollar member levels above supersponsors, Megasponsor and Gigasponsor. Both receive all the perks of a Supersponsor level, plus special unique gifts each year such as engraved pocketwatches.
* Game show concepts have been introduced such as "Fursuit Deal or Big Deal," partly mirroring ''[[Wikipedia:Deal or No Deal|Deal or No Deal]]'', with fursuiters instead of models.
* The convention's main events have been streamed live online since 2005.
* An exclusive hospitality lounge with hot meals is provided to sponsor and higher level attendees.
* The convention has donated "con badge number 1" for the following year in the charity auction since 2010. This badge number is usually reserved for convention chairman. The auctioning of badge number 1 raised over $300 for charity in 2010.
* Hall prizes called "Achievements" are awarded to attendees who accomplish them at any point during the convention. Most achievements are typically kept secret until the time they are rewarded.
* Megaplex archives all of its past con books, artwork, badge imagery, photos and videos on-line, available for all individuals to view on its web site.

== Staff and organization ==

Pawpet Live Experiences, Inc. (PLEx) is a class C for-profit corporation operating out of the State of Florida.<ref>''[http://www.sunbiz.org/scripts/cordet.exe?action=DETFIL&inq_doc_number=P02000002192&inq_came_from=NAMFWD&cor_web_names_seq_number=0000&names_name_ind=N&names_cor_number=&names_name_seq=&names_name_ind=&names_comp_name=PAWPET&names_filing_type= Pawpet Live Experiences]'' - Florida Department of State</ref>. PLEx, Inc. was incorporated in January 2002, a mere two months before putting on Pawpet Megaplex 1, and went the faster route of incorporating under the less stringent for-profit statutes. The Board of Directors runs the convention on a not-for-profit basis.

PLEx, Inc.'s current president is [[Yappy Slyfox|Randy "Yappy" Fox]], and the vice president is [[Hino|Erik "Hino" Johansen]]. The role of [[convention chairman]] is shared between [[Hino|Erik "Hino" Johansen]] and [[Amythest|Richelle "Amythest" Fretwell]].

As of 2015 the Board members are:

* [[Yappy Slyfox|Randy "Yappy" Fox]] - President
* [[Hino|Erik "Hino" Johansen]] - Vice President
* [[Kuddlepup|John "K.P." Cole]]
* [[Wolfpac|Kyle "Wolfpac" Bergeron]]
* [[STiTcH|Matthew "STiTcH" Pence]]
* [[Shy Matsi|Carlton "Shy Matsi" Hurdle]]
* [[Amythest|Richelle "Amythest" Fretwell]]

== Mascot ==

Megaplex's mascot is Pounce the Panther, a [[W:Florida panther|Florida panther]] (an endangered subspecies of cougar).<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150324051307/https://megaplexcon.org/index.php?q=about#pounce Megaplex website - About us, #Meet Pounce the Panther] on Megaplex website, archived 2015 March 24 at archive.org Wayback Machine.

Megaplex has featured musical performances by [[Wikipedia:Toxic_Audio|Toxic Audio]], [http://www.42five.com/ 4:2:Five], [[Hali|Matthew Ebel]], [[Fox Amoore]] and [[Rhubarb the Bear]], stage performances including musicals [[Julie Bunny Must Die!]] and [[Fosgate: Ferret Loan Officer]], and out-of-fandom honored guests including [[Wikipedia:Trace Beaulieu|Trace Beaulieu]], [[Wikipedia:Paul Zaloom|Paul Zaloom]] and [[Wikipedia:Noel MacNeal|Noel MacNeal]].

A variety of factors<ref name="candidcomments">''[http://community.livejournal.com/megaplex/24878.html Some Candid Comments on Megaplex, from the Chair]'' - [[Carl Fox]], {{lj-comm|megaplex}} (24 December 2006)</ref><ref>''[http://community.livejournal.com/megaplex/35393.html Goodbye, 2007...Hello, 2008!]'' - [[Carl Fox]], {{lj-comm|megaplex}} (7 March 2007)</ref> had caused Megaplex's attendance to fluctuate in its first decade, though it has been steadily increasing since 2010. The 2015 event had 1,472 in attendance, the highest to date.

'''Megaplex XV''', is scheduled for August 5-7, 2016 at the Embassy Suites - Lake Buena Vista South in Kissimmee, FL, with the theme "British Invasion." The Guests of Honor will be [[Kenket]] and [[Cosmic Wuffy]]. The convention has negotiated a full hotel buyout, along with a complimentary breakfast and cocktail hour each day for hotel guests<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILfrAIavOLw Megaplex 2016: British Invasion New Hotel Embassy Suites (YouTube)]</ref>.

== History ==
{{Megaplex}}
'''Pawpet Megaplex''' came into being as a replacement for [[Furry Spring Break]], which was held in 2001. Furry Spring Break was unable to secure hotel space for a second convention in 2002, and folded. In its stead, Pawpet Live Experiences, Inc. was formed and on short notice held the first Pawpet Megaplex at the Ramada Resort and Convention Center in Orlando, FL. The convention supported the animal rescue C.A.R.E. Foundation, featuring a live animal presentation. The convention has continued to support the same charity each year.

The convention moved to the movie-themed Sheraton Studio City Resort for its second and third years, closer to [http://www.universalorlando.com/ Universal Studios Florida]. In 2003 the convention had its first [[guest of honor]], [[SueDeer|Susan Rankin]], and first of many musical guests, a capella group [[Wikipedia:Toxic_Audio|Toxic Audio]]. In 2004 Megaplex officially dropped the "Pawpet" from the name. '''Megaplex 3''' was the first year to make heavy use of the convention theme ("[[Wikipedia:MP3|MP3]]", derived from the abbreviation of the convention name) with posters and hallway decor.

The convention upgraded to larger quarters at the Sheraton World Resort, right next door to the [http://www.seaworld.com/ SeaWorld Orlando] theme park, from 2005 to 2006, continuing to introduce new traditions such as a Saturday Night "Rocky Horror Picture Show" viewing complete with staff members as cast members.

Due to rising hotel costs in Orlando, Megaplex temporarily moved in 2007 and 2008 the Wyndham Jacksonville Riverfront in Jacksonville, Florida.

Returning to the Orlando area, Megaplex was held at the Worldgate Resort in Kissimmee, Florida from 2009 to 2012, a short distance from [[Wikipedia:Walt Disney World|Walt Disney World]]'s main gate. The convention was rescheduled from March to late July to achieve better costs and hotel rates, and to help space the event out from the growing [[Furry Weekend Atlanta|FWA]]. The con expanded its meeting space to include a larger Dealer's Den, an Artist Alley, and lounge area dubbed "The Lair."

From 2013 to 2015 Megaplex returned to Orlando proper and expanded into larger meeting space at the Marriott Orlando Airport hotel. The convention has increased its focus on quality main events and immersive theming. At the end of [[Megaplex XIV]] it was announced that the convention will be moving in 2016 to the Embassy Suites - Lake Buena Vista South in Kissimmee to accommodate the convention's growth.

== Innovations ==
Megaplex has introduced many ideas to augment the convention's programming and atmosphere:

* Pre-registered attendees can provide a personal avatar to appear on their convention badge.
* Megaplex was the first furry convention to introduce a convention fursuit mascot, Pounce the Panther, in 2008.
* Starting in 2012, Megaplex has created a commemorative poster celebrating each year's convention. One copy of the poster is offered for sale at the convention's charity auction.
* Collectible glassware is given to all attendees.<ref>https://twitter.com/TheDanteOxalis/status/441613535224008705 Twitter photo of a Megaplex mug found at a Goodwill store</ref>
* Megaplex offers high dollar member levels above supersponsors, Megasponsor and Gigasponsor. Both receive all the perks of a Supersponsor level, plus special unique gifts each year such as engraved pocketwatches.
* Game show concepts have been introduced such as "Fursuit Deal or Big Deal," partly mirroring ''[[Wikipedia:Deal or No Deal|Deal or No Deal]]'', with fursuiters instead of models.
* The convention's main events have been streamed live online since 2005.
* An exclusive hospitality lounge with hot meals is provided to sponsor and higher level attendees.
* The convention has donated "con badge number 1" for the following year in the charity auction since 2010. This badge number is usually reserved for convention chairman. The auctioning of badge number 1 raised over $300 for charity in 2010.
* Hall prizes called "Achievements" are awarded to attendees who accomplish them at any point during the convention. Most achievements are typically kept secret until the time they are rewarded.
* Megaplex archives all of its past con books, artwork, badge imagery, photos and videos on-line, available for all individuals to view on its web site.

== Staff and organization ==

Pawpet Live Experiences, Inc. (PLEx) is a class C for-profit corporation operating out of the State of Florida.<ref>''[http://www.sunbiz.org/scripts/cordet.exe?action=DETFIL&inq_doc_number=P02000002192&inq_came_from=NAMFWD&cor_web_names_seq_number=0000&names_name_ind=N&names_cor_number=&names_name_seq=&names_name_ind=&names_comp_name=PAWPET&names_filing_type= Pawpet Live Experiences]'' - Florida Department of State</ref>. PLEx, Inc. was incorporated in January 2002, a mere two months before putting on Pawpet Megaplex 1, and went the faster route of incorporating under the less stringent for-profit statutes. The Board of Directors runs the convention on a not-for-profit basis.

PLEx, Inc.'s current president is [[Yappy Slyfox|Randy "Yappy" Fox]], and the vice president is [[Hino|Erik "Hino" Johansen]]. The role of [[convention chairman]] is shared between [[Hino|Erik "Hino" Johansen]] and [[Amythest|Richelle "Amythest" Fretwell]].

As of 2015 the Board members are:

* [[Yappy Slyfox|Randy "Yappy" Fox]] - President
* [[Hino|Erik "Hino" Johansen]] - Vice President
* [[Kuddlepup|John "K.P." Cole]]
* [[Wolfpac|Kyle "Wolfpac" Bergeron]]
* [[STiTcH|Matthew "STiTcH" Pence]]
* [[Shy Matsi|Carlton "Shy Matsi" Hurdle]]

== Mascot ==

Megaplex's mascot is Pounce the Panther, a [[W:Florida panther|Florida panther]] (an endangered subspecies of cougar).<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150324051307/https://megaplexcon.org/index.php?q=about#pounce Megaplex website - About us, #Meet Pounce the Panther] on Megaplex website, archived 2015 March 24 at archive.org Wayback Machine. Retrieved 2015 July 31.</ref> Pounce was introduced as the Megaplex fursuit mascot, in 2008 at '''Megaplex 7''', as Megapanther to match the comic book theme of that year's Megaplex. Pounce is seen at Megaplex in a costume that matches that year's theme.
