Anthrocon 2026 takes place July 2 through July 5, 2026 at the David L. Lawrence convention center (DLCC) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Con website. Con Bluesky (announcements). Registration website.
I am a rando not affiliated with Anthrocon. This schedule is not officially sanctioned and will not be updated as events are cancelled, rescheduled, etc. However it is a plain HTML file you can load over a garbage Internet connection and save for offline use, unlike - look, I just don’t trust their official schedule website, it barely works over my connection at home.
This page was made by manually cut-pasting and retyping things from the official schedule. All errors and typos are mine except for the ones that aren’t.
Have a good con! -pup quat.

More information about registration on Anthrocon’s website (see section Important Dates and Times)
Preregistered attendees may pick up during:
- Thursday, noon to 8pm
- Friday, 9am to 8pm
- Saturday, 10am to 6pm (this time is not on the schedule website, it’s only listed on Anthrocon.org)
- Sunday, 10am to 4pm (same)
Lines close at the listed time, but everyone still in line may still register.
Bring a photo ID, bring the QR code you got while registering online, and (if I may provide some advice too) bring lots of water and maybe a sweat rag.
See website for more dates and times relating to day passes, purching an attending pass at-con, etc. (Basically you need to buy online during a specific time period, and you must do that before you enter the registration line. You can’t just show up with cash.)
Shuttles
Look for Pittsburgh Transportation Group, Lenzner Travel, and Grey Hare Express buses. Pickup and dropoff at con is underneath the convention center (fort duquesne boulevard). Have your badge handy. Pickups approx every 20-30 mins; will get crazy on the 4th of july. Full buses will not stop.
You should read AC’S webpage about shuttle busses for specific route info, find out which route serves your hotel, etc.
