FAQs
Do I have to book hotels through the Convention site?
Booking through the Convention Host website often includes a range of perks for the Convention Host. Booking through the Convention Host’s room blocks is a great way to provide additional support for the Convention Team. But you are not required to book through the Convention Host. If you’re looking for any upcoming adventures, you can use our Expedia Affiliate link below to support the ARBAConvention.org website.
I’ve never been to a Convention before, what should I bring?
There are a ton of lists available online to help guide your first Convention. Below you can find our suggested packing lists! Coming Soon.
Can I just attend a Convention?
Absolutely! There’s a ton to do without ever entering a rabbit or cavy at an ARBA Convention. There’s always a wide range of vendors and activities to keep everyone in the family entertained. If you’re interested in Youth Contests or any of the Art competitions, you will need to register in advance. You can find entry information for both through each Convention’s respective website and Youth Contest information is also available through the ARBA website.
How do I volunteer to help at Convention?
Best thing to do is just show up. You can find someone willing to help direct you to something needing to be done at the Secretary’s booth. These are massive, volunteer run events so any time you can donate to the event is appreciated!
When can I do scratches?
If you are planning to still need your coop for an animal or storage, you should not scratch your animal prior to coop numbers being assigned. You can also do scratches at check-in. If you do need to make changes, show up early enough for them to be put into the system! Fees may be associated with last minute changes so be sure to check the show catalog for specific details pertaining to the specific show you’re attending.
