Registration
Information about registering for PAWCon.
Are you ready to join us on our pirate ship adventure? All you have to do is fill out the job application for the position you want! Don’t worry, we’re pirates: we take everyone.
Note
We have switched to a new Registration platform, as part of this switch you will need to create a new account. Additionally ConCat does not share accounts between conventions for privacy reason. You will need to create one with us even if you have registered with ConCat for another convention.

Registration Discounts
Pre-registration is very helpful for us to plan everything the pirate ship is going to need, and we’re happy to offer a discount compared to joining us at the door.
Are you an early parrot (or any other kind of early bird)? We’re pleased to offer a $10 discount until 31 May 2025. After that until pre-registration closes in early October, we offer a $5 discount.
Code of Conduct
What, pirate ships have rules?! Well, yes they do; and aside from that, the dirty little secret is that we’re not actually pirates.
By attending PAWCon 2025, you will be agreeing to the linked code of conduct. Please read it. It’s all common sense, but please read it anyway.
Proof of Identity
Please bring a government-issued photo ID with you to the registration desk at the event. The name on the ID must match your registration name and it must show your birthdate or other proof of age. We can’t admit you to the event without this.
Minors
We welcome attendees under the age of 18 with the consent of a parent or legal guardian. Please fill out and bring this consent form with you. We cannot accept any other proof of consent. This is really important: we can’t accept an E-mail or phone call, only this form. Also, if the parent or guardian won’t be present at registration and able to show their ID, the form must be notarized.
Attendees who are under the age of 16 as of 6 November 2025 must be accompanied at all times by a parent or legal guardian who also registers for the event. The parent or legal guardian should complete the registration for themselves and then add any minor children to their account.
I registered and I can’t attend
Pre-registrations are non-refundable, but we’re happy to transfer your registration to another person or to the following year’s event if you can’t come. Please contact us at registration@pacanthro.org. If you check the box during the registration process to ship your swag to you if you can’t come, please note that we can’t then also transfer or defer the higher tiers of your membership, only the basic membership (or ask us in your E-mail to uncheck that box for you).
Help us make PAWCon more fun!
When you’re registering, you’ll also have the opportunity to sign up to host a panel, volunteer, or host a party on the party floor. We won’t make you walk the plank if you don’t (as noted, we’re not actually pirates, and we’d need to find a plank), but please consider helping us make PAWCon more fun for everyone.
You can also sign up for any of these through our website at any time.
Day Passes
We don’t offer day passes for pre-registration, but you’re welcome to register onsite for a single day for $45. And we’ll credit that against the cost of a full weekend membership if you’d like to stay longer.
Contact Us
If you have any questions we didn’t answer here, feel welcome to reach out to us at registration@pacanthro.org. We look forward to seeing you!
