One watering hole, every species
Fauna Forum is the two-day gathering where the whole animal kingdom compares notes — one watering hole, every species, no chasing.
- 🎤
Two stages, one rhythm
Keynotes and panels in the Main Hall, hands-on sessions in the Workshop Den — and the whole kingdom back together at every break.
- 🛠️
Build with your own paws
Ninety-minute workshops with materials provided — from your first nest to pacing a multi-season roadmap. Small groups, real artifacts, no lectures.
- 🌙
The Evening Howl
The networking event of the season: every call, song, and chirp welcome, the salmon station open late, and next year’s collaborations quietly hatched.

Learn by doing, whatever you do
The Workshop Den runs all day, both days: small-group sessions where you build something real and take it home. This year — nest architecture, pattern recognition in noisy environments, and pacing the long pull.
Have something to teach? The stage is open to every species — first-time speakers get a mentor from the program committee.
A community that outlasts the conference
Fauna Forum is organized by the community, for the community — predators and prey at the same tables, under a strict no-chase policy that has held for every edition so far.
Sponsors make the Community Pass free for shelter residents, students, and hatchlings. If your den wants to help, there’s a tier for every size.

The team
Marta Meerkat
Lead Organizer
Marta stands watch over every detail, usually from the highest available point. Her colony-first approach is why nothing at Fauna Forum ever sneaks up on anyone.
Oleg Octopus
Program Chair
Oleg reviews eight submissions at once and still finds a spare arm for speaker care. He assembled this year's program without dropping a single thing.
Béla Badger
Venue & Logistics
If a stage is standing, a den is heated, and the treats arrive on time, that was Béla. Do not ask how; the answer involves digging.

FAQ
What does a ticket include?+
Every pass covers both days: all talks in the Main Hall, workshops in the Workshop Den, treats at every break, lunch grazing, and the Evening Howl. The Supporter and VIP Den tiers add a front-row perch and the private den dinner.
Can I get a refund or transfer my ticket?+
Tickets are refundable up to 14 days before the event — moulting season is no excuse. You can transfer your ticket to any member of your pack, herd, or colony at any time from your registration page.
Are predators welcome?+
Absolutely — Fauna Forum operates a strict no-chase policy throughout the venue, enforced by a very calm team of sheepdogs. Predators and prey share talks, tables, and treats. It works better than you’d think.
Is the venue accessible?+
The Grand Menagerie is fully burrow-accessible: ramps at every entrance, perches at three heights in both halls, a quiet den for overstimulated attendees, and hibernation pods bookable at the front desk. Tell us what you need in the registration form and we’ll sort it.
Is Fauna Forum a real event?+
No — Fauna Forum is a fictional conference. This whole site is the live demo of the open-source Cloomba conference template: everything you see (the agenda, speakers, tickets, coupons, registration) is powered by the Cloomba event platform, exactly as it would be for your real conference. Feel free to register — no payment is ever taken.
