A few years ago a few people from the Salt Lake City area decided to have a small party on the Saturday during Anthrocon where they played games, fursuited, and just generally had a good time because they couldn't make it to AC. They started calling this party Unthrocon! Last year it got too big for the house that they had been doing it in so they got a little bit of hotel convention space for the night and a good time full of games and furry frivolity was had by all.

This year they're bumping it up towards a full convention with more space, more days, and even a dealer's den! They even changed the dates to August 30-September 1 so that they no longer conflict with Anthrocon. In other words, Salt Lake City is getting a convention!

I know, this information is useless without details, but keep you pants on(for now).

Location: Salt Lake City Radisson Hotel
Dates: August 30 - September 1 2013
Registration Price: $35 pre-reg - $45 at door

Also, it's a great convention to fly into because the hotel is right off of a stop for the light rail system which now runs all the way to the airport which you can take for just $2.50; so much better than a cab ride or a paid shuttle. The transit system is fairly extensive and also has day passes available at $6.25/day so it can really open up the area for you to do things. Of course, it's also located in the transit system's "free fare zone" which allows you to use the buses and light rail for free when going through the zone, so be sure to check them out at http://www.rideuta.com/

The Radisson Hotel is quite literally located just 2 blocks away from 2 different malls so there is plenty of option for food right near by.
