💚 Frequently Asked Questions 🤔

• What exactly is SizeCon? 🧚‍♀️💪🍈✨❤ 🎈

SizeCon is an adult, community event and celebration for size fans worldwide! 🥳 We had our last in-person event in June 2023 with hundreds of attendees! Throughout the pandemic, we ran several successful online events we called “SizeCon [micro]”. SizeCon continues in both Live hosted SizeCons, and online joinable SizeCon[micro]s.

• What do you mean by ‘Size’? 🤏🧐

Size was originally coined and created as an inclusive label by the NYC Macro/Micro meetup group for Macrophiles and Microphiles. When we began our SizeCon event, Size evolved into an umbrella term that better reflected the size community as a whole, after all, we are comprised of individuals who fly more than one flag: we are 🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQ, furries, lovers of expansion and inflation, weight gain, vore, transformation, BDSM, and so much more! So if you have any interest in size-related things, you’re definitely welcome to come and nerd out with us! 🤓🤤

• Who’s allowed to attend SizeCon events? 🔞😲🤱🐶

SizeCon is an adults-only event, so people under 18 years of age are NOT allowed to attend, even if accompanied or given permission by an adult. The only exceptions to this rule are nursing infants and certified service animals. We do not wish to turn any guests away, so please be respectful of our rule; Exceptions for infants are in place to help new Mothers attend while still being available for their newborn baby who needs to be fed regularly - this is not an invitation for children over a year old. This includes our online SizeCon [micro] events as well - please keep children OUT of the room. Exceptions for service animals are in place to help those suffering with illnesses, PTSD or other serious health issues or disability in which they rely on their service animal - this is not an invitation to bring your pet because you’re feeling nervous. All pets at our online SizeCon [micro] events are allowed to be present in the room with you as long as they are well behaved and not a distraction to other attendees. Please respect our rules so that we can keep SizeCon accessible for everyone.

• What do you mean exactly by ‘ADULT’ event? 🍆🤤🍑🤤🍈🤤🌮🤤

SizeCon first and foremost is an event that caters to those who have erotic related fantasies that may include Giants/tinies, expansion, inflation, muscle growth, shrinking/growing, weight gain and other kinks. It will ALWAYS be an adult related event, thus we will never allow guests under 18 years old to attend. As long as the size content displayed is legal, explicit photos, drawings, etc will be allowed to be displayed by vendors and at (NSFW - NotSafeForWork) labeled panels and events. SizeCon is our pride event, so we will not censor or shame our outstanding artists, writers and talent into covering up their work. If NSFW content is upsetting or triggering to you in anyway, please review our Schedule carefully. Our schedule will mark NSFW panels and events. As we’ve done since year one, we will also provide specially marked badges for those who do not want to engage in explicit conversations.

• Why did the location of SizeCon change from East Coast to West Coast? 🏃💨🗽

While some guests may find the big move to be sudden, this was always something we wanted to do with SizeCon. We want our message to reach as many size fans as possible, but because we were a small convention, we relied heavily on our ground network on the East Coast. Logistically, it was easier to operate in the North East, even if it wasn’t always cheaper. Our con community has grown considerably over the years and we have reliable volunteers all over the country and beyond now. Before that, a West Coast con would have been impossible. In-person SizeCons could be happening all over the country, even more than once a year, we only need folks passionate enough to organize on the ground level - SizeCon as a whole will always be there to support you with everything else.

In early 2020, SizeCon successfully ran a weekend event at a kink friendly hotel in New Jersey. We had intended to build a long-term relationship with this hotel, but over the pandemic the hotel restructured, rebranded, and at our 2023 event, we found the new hotel staff to be unprofessional with us and our guests. After several inexcusable incidents we decided to no longer partner with this hotel again. Since we had the resources now to move the event, we began seriously considering venues all over the USA. Thankfully we were welcomed by the Sheraton Portland Airport Hotel and we now have this great opportunity for size fans on the West Coast of the Americas, Asia and Australia who’ve never been able to attend before actually be here! While we know this move might be disappointing for our longtime SizeCon attendees on the East Coast of the Americas, and Europe who’ve shown up in great force, we hope you’ll be open to going on adventure with us West! 🏇

• What covid-19 preventative measures are being taken at SizeCon? ⚕️😷🦠

As with any large, indoor gathering, there is still a potential of contracting Covid-19. In an effort to prevent the spread during SizeCon, we will encourage guests to use a facial covering, however they are NOT mandatory. Free face masks and hand sanitizer will be available at our front desk but if you have a personal type of mask or sanitizer brand you prefer, feel free to bring your own.

• What’s the dress code like? 🦹‍♂️🦸‍♀️🐱👨‍🎤🧟‍♂️

Most SizeCon guests typically wear casual clothing, jeans, t-shirts and comfortable shoes - remember you will be on your feet a lot! However, guests are free to dress however they’d like, including sexy and/or kink related outfits, assuming it’s not any more revealing than what you’d typically see at the beach. That means you can’t be naked at SizeCon aside from private events like our Dungeon. Costuming is allowed and even encouraged (especially if it’s sized related!), whether that be a cosplay of your favorite character or your fiercest looking Drag, we’re here to celebrate, so go on and express yourself! Please note, guests may wear face-concealing masks, makeup, etc, as long as they are not too upsetting (i.e. Jason mask, Ski mask, grotesque prosthetics, etc). 👺 These rules also apply for our online SizeCon [micro] events too. Again, please be extra mindful of nudity in public areas of our host hotel, as we’d like to be invited back - thank you!

• What is Vouched.id? 🪪🤔

Here in the United States, we need to comply with federal law in order to host the convention (47 U.S.C. § 223(d) –Communications Decency Act of 1996, as amended by the PROTECT Act of 2003) and ensure that all of our attendees at the event are 18 years of age or older. Also, in an effort to provide the safest environment at SizeCon, Vouched.ID helps us screen out attendees who have broken rules in the past. The check only looks to make sure that your name, age, and face are correct, and you will be reminded via e-mail to do this quick check before the event starts. No other information is collected or stored. Your connection to Vouched.ID is also encrypted and secured by their identification systems. Vouched.ID also works with IDs and Passports from around the world.

After purchasing a ticket, you will receive a Vouched.id e-mail which will guide you through the process. Vouched.id is a requirement for online SizeCon [micro] events, and highly suggested for in-person SizeCon events. Completing the Vouched process before an in-person SizeCon event will allow you to go through the check-in process much faster when collecting your badge and meal tickets. If you have not completed Vouched before an in-person SizeCon event, we will need to see your Government issued ID at our check-in table before handing you your badge and meal tickets.

• Can I bring my Non-Size-interested significant others/friends?🤝

Absolutely! As long as they stick to our rules, any friend of a size-fan is a friend of ours. ❤ 

• What if I see someone I know?😳😳😳

While the odds of bumping into someone that you already know outside the community at SizeCon events are astronomically low, if you happened to bump into someone you did know, that's a good thing: you found a fellow Size-Lover! High-five! 🙌 

• I've never been to SizeCon before - what should I expect? 🤔

When you arrive there will be a check-in booth where we will hand you your badge, your meal tickets (if purchased) and give you a brief verbal rundown of our rules. Using our SizeCon WebApp on your smartphone, you can plan out your day with fun and exciting events, socials, panels, and activities! There's always something new and exciting happening every single hour at SizeCon!  Some events and panels are entertaining and fun, others can be educational and offer advice and support; there’s a lot to see, learn and do! With hundreds of guests of all (adult) ages and backgrounds attending SizeCon every year from around the country and even the world, there will be no short of fellow size fans there for you to geek out with! 🤩

Here’s a fun behind the scenes video from our 2018 event to give you an idea of what to expect! Our event has of course since…GROWN.😏

• I'm worried about privacy. Will my identity be safe? 📸

Privacy is extremely important for SizeCon guests. Many of our staff, as well as many of our attendees hold careers in the public eye - Doctors, Teachers, etc. Because of that, we have a strict photo and video policy at the event. Any public photos of SizeCon were taken by our Official SizeCon photographer with explicit permission of all those in the photo. Again, we also allow and encourage attendees to Cosplay, so if you’re still worried, you can always disguise yourself. While we collect names of guests to verify with their ID that they are over 18, we do not keep this list, nor would we ever release such a list - remember, we'd be on it too! 😜

• I don’t know anyone, and I’m nervous about going! 😱😱😱

Don’t worry, every year, without fail, we get a new influx of first-timers. We promise, you won’t be the only newbie! Luckily, for those nervous about finding a friend to hang out with, you can start making connections ahead of the convention by joining our official Discord Chat! We also have newbie events for first time attendees - see you there!

• I’m still nervous, maybe i’ll go next year?😅

SizeCon is purely run by dedicated volunteers; we are non-profit. Unfortunately, because of our volunteers not being as available in 2019 to to commit to the event as well as 2024, there was no 2019 nor 2024 SizeCon!😭 We implore you all to NOT take this event for granted - if you’ve been wanting to attend SizeCon, now is the time!! Remember a few years ago, an event like this was inconceivable! We are still a fairly young offline Size Community and can’t survive without the participation of other valid size fans like yourself! If you ever doubt your place at SizeCon, don’t ever forget, you’re:

• I’m not sure I feel comfortable with all the content I see advertised for SizeCon.😣

Some Giantess fans prefer not to see Giant content. Some Expansion fans prefer to enjoy their content without a the subject being 80 feet tall. Some fans prefer SFW content over NSFW content. If you’d like to see some fun statistics volunteered by SizeCon attendees to see how diverse we are, check this article out or see this handy visual graph! Unfortunately, when it comes to making a catered fetish event, we can't make everyone happy in this respect. We have a lot of overlap in fantasies and interests, and being that our communities have lived solely online, it only made sense for all of us to join forces! Remember, a few years ago, an event like this was unthinkable and finding reliable volunteers can sometimes be hard to come by.

However, just like at a typical Fan Event/Convention, nothing at SizeCon is mandatory or forced upon you. You do not have to attend certain events or panels outside of your interest. You do not have to look at any artwork you do not want to look at. All Panels and Booths with NSFW content will be clearly marked on our schedule. Descriptions for all these events and panels will also be outlined on our schedule - as always, participation is optional!

• How did SizeCon start and who runs it?🤔

SizeCon was dreamed up by the New York City Macro-Micro Meetup Group, founded by community artist: Jitensha. These Meetups have been an incredible experience for the local size community, being able to speak and interact with people about a side of ourselves that stays mostly hidden - it's been truly life-changing! We nerd out about our favorite Sabrina episode, discuss the finer points of the square-cube law, and help members come out to significant others, oftentimes over food and drinks in beautiful Central Park. We wanted to bring that experience to as many people as possible, and so we began planning our first ever event back in 2016. Being a queer, kinky, nerdy, Latina, our founder Jitensha has always pushed to make SizeCon as inclusive as possible, whilst working together with volunteers to provide an unforgettable, validating community experience in a fan-convention like setting. Every year we work to improve this experience, and every year we create more relationships and long-lasting friendships.❤
