Where and how do I register for IWAG 2026?

Registration is performed at Community (https://community.furries.id), our inhouse-built event management platform. You need to make an account on Community. You can use a username-password combination or Google single-sign on.

If you have previously attended IWAG 2024, IWAG 2025 or registered for any other events hosted in Community, all you need to do is log in again using the email/password or Google Account you have previously registered with.

You will then be able to navigate to the home page of Community, which will display the IWAG 2026 event available for registration. Click on the event and select the Event Pass that you’d like to register for.

Note that the button to continue your registration will only be enabled after January 3, 2026 at 20:00 UTC+7.

How can I get Architect (Tier 5) passes?

For IWAG 2026, we will be opening our top supersponsor tier for raffle registration. This is to ensure our most coveted tier is distributed to the attendees who want it the most fair way possible, while still allowing attendees to attain the immediate lower tier (Tier 4) through normal means.

You must already secure an IWAG 2026 Event Pass to participate in the raffle. All Event Pass tiers are eligible to enter the Architect tier raffle.

You’ll be able to register for the raffle at 4 January 2026 19:00 UTC+7 (12:00 UTC) here..

We will collect the Event Pass number of any tier in that form, so make sure you have secured one before you attempt filling the form.

We will also validate the authenticity of each Event Pass number inputted. Duplicates will not be counted, and fictitious numbers will be omitted.

How does the Architect (Tier 5) raffle work? How do I know this is fair?

The Architect raffle tier will be done in a completely analog manner, and will be livestreamed for everyone to watch and attest.

The raffle will work like this:

The IWAG team will print out all the entrants’ Event Pass numbers and cut it to individual boxes
All the numbers will be shown on-camera live before they are rolled and folded into individual tokens
The tokens will be thrown into a container filled with styrofoam balls
The container will be hand-tossed to randomize the numbers and contents.
After mixing, a number will be pulled out of the container by random, and will be read out loud and shown to the camera.
This will be done until we get 10 Event Pass numbers, the quota for our Tier 5 passes.
Afterwards, the team will pull 10 more Event Pass numbers randomly to populate our stand-by queue. These standby Event Pass numbers will be given a chance to secure their Tier 5 upgrade should anyone fail to pay their contribution fee.
Raffle winners will be emailed a payment link that will be the difference between the price of their current Event Pass to the Tier 5 Event Pass.

Tier 5 raffle winners will have 24 hours from the time an email from our payment processing gateway arrives on the same address they use to sign up for Community.

If they fail to pay their contribution fee through this link, their raffle entry will be voided, and a member from the standby queue will now have a chance to attain their upgrade. This continues until 10 upgrades have been paid for, or if the standby queue is exhausted.

If the standby queue is exhausted, the IWAG team will pull 10 more standby raffle entries on a livestream and the process repeats until all 10 slots are secured.

All raffle livestreams will be saved as video on demand for later examination for auditing and transparency purposes.

Why do I have to create an account and provide personal information? Is it safe?

We are dedicated to making IWAG a safe and fun place for our community members to be the best version of themselves. Hence, we do need information on who joins so that we know our attendees, and that we could ensure unsavory or anti-social behavior can be held accountable if we find evident violations to our Code of Conduct and related Policies. We are also interested in ensuring our attendees are accounted for in case of emergencies or incidents. The best way we can ensure this is through the basic personal information we collect on our attendees.

In technical terms, we use design patterns that ensure the privacy and secrecy of your personal information. Passwords and session tokens are managed on an independent Identity Access Management platform, while Personally Identifiable Information are encrypted at rest and can only be decrypted by authorized personnel accessing Community.

You can review the IWAG Privacy Policy and Community Privacy Policy online, and raise any questions to [email protected].

How much time do I have to finish my registration?

Once you click on your desired Event Pass, if the quota is still available, you will be shown the checkout page and you will have 15 minutes to complete your registration. A 15-minute timer will be shown for your convenience while filling in all necessary information.

I am below 17 years old. Can I register? / Can I bring minors and infants to the convention?

Yes, attendees between 14 to 16 years old can register through Community. However, you must fill in the Parental Consent Form and bring the signed physical copy to the convention. If you cannot produce this Parental Consent Form, you must be accompanied by an adult. Failure to bring a Parental Waiver Form or being accompanied by an adult will not be allowed to check-in to the convention.

Attendees who are between 11 and 13 years old can pay for Event Passes through Community, but must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who must also register for an Event Pass, and be accompanied by the adult at all times during the event.

Attendees 10 and below do not require registration through Community, and are welcome to join alongside their parents or legal guardians without any extra fees, but must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian at all times. Minors 10 below and infants will be registered at the door alongside their responsible adult.

Regardless of which, all attending parents and/or legal guardians must sign up for Community and register for their own Event Pass.

Please keep in mind that all of our programming is suited for audiences 14 and above. Parents and legal guardians assume the risk of exposure to content that may be inappropriate for our younger fandom members.

Questions regarding Minor Attendees can be addressed to IWAG by writing to [email protected].

Would IWAG run out of Event Passes?

Most passes are available in large quantities, except for Architect and Overseer tiers which are highly treasured by members of the community.

For the comfort of all attendees, IWAG will release Event Passes in number of attendees that is expected to be admissible to the event. The overall limit of attendees is a mixture of the venue’s total safe capacity, exit limit, and the convention’s internal operational considerations.

IWAG Crew also periodically evaluates Event Pass registration performance, and may adjust quotas as deems fit. We’ll let you know through our social media if more quotas are introduced.

The Event Pass tier I want is unavailable. Will it ever be possible for me to buy?

Community works in a way where Event Passes are marked unavailable if there are people still on the checkout flow. If anyone fails to complete payment in the 15-minute window, the pass will be released again for anyone else to grab. But if all Event Passes of that tier has been booked, it’ll switch to “sold out”.

So if you want that high tier pass, as long as the quota doesn’t say “sold out”, keep refreshing!

I bought an Event Pass tier that allows me to upload custom art for my badge, or select my T-Shirt size, or upload my fursona ref. How do I do this? How do I set my preferred name to be printed on my badge?

You can update information regarding to your pass after performing payment for your pass. After a successful payment, you will see a page that says “Event Pass Acquired!”.

I plan to be a Panelist, Performer, or a Dealer/Vendor at IWAG. Do I need to register?

All panelists, performers, and dealers/vendors must have a valid event pass. If you plan to be a panelist, performer and dealer/vendor, you are still required to pay the contribution fee in exchange of an Event Pass.

However, you can do this later. Panelist, Performer, and Dealer/Vendor applications will be opened separately from regular Registration, and accepted Panelists, Performers, and Dealers/Vendors can access Event Passes even when general registration has been sold out.

If you have already paid for your Event Pass through Community, you can quote your Event Pass Number in any of the Panelist, Performer and Dealer application forms.

Note that the terms to apply for being a Panelist, Performer and Dealer/Vendor varies from general registration and will be stated on each corresponding application form.

Can I register for more than one Event Pass per Community account?

No, you can only register for one Event Pass per Community account. If you’d like to pay for badges for another person, you will currently need to make another Community account for the other person.

Please note that paying for multiple badges for the same person may result in us revoking all your badges without any refunds.

I can’t make it to the con. Can I transfer my IWAG 2026 Event Pass to someone else?

We’re sorry to hear that. You may elect to transfer your IWAG 2026 Event Pass to another person. Please email us at [email protected] with the following information:

Your Community account email address (preferably use this same email address to write to us, too)
Your Event Pass number
Your Event Pass tier
Original type of payment you used to pay for the Event Pass (QRIS/Virtual Account/Bank Transfer/Card)
Date when you paid for your Event Pass (you can use the email confirmation date)
The receiving attendee’s Community account email address
The receiving attendee’s full legal name
The receiving attendee’s date of birth

By the time you elect to email us, make sure you have arranged payment and exchange of details with the receiving attendee. IWAG does not facilitate nor confirm payments have been settled during a transfer and is at the attendees’ own risk.

You should make sure the destination attendee already has a Community account, and hasn’t gotten an IWAG 2026 Event Pass. Remember that two passes cannot be assigned to the same person.

Transfer requests are only possible before the cut-off dates for each pass tier. Overseer and Architect pass transfers close much earlier than other tiers.

Can I cancel my IWAG 2026 Event Pass for a refund?

All sales of IWAG Event Passes are non-refundable. You may, however, transfer your Event Pass to someone else. Please read our Terms here.

I only found out I can’t make it to the con after the Event Pass transfer deadline. What can I do?

We’re sorry you can’t make it to the con. However, we won’t be able to transfer, refund, or modify ownership of your event pass, and IWAG is not required to supply you with any compensation of your promised perk whatsoever. You may be able to contact our team at [email protected] to arrange your own means to obtain, if any, physical or digital goods that your acquired pass may entail, which IWAG may honor on a best-effort basis.

If you are an Overseer or Architect event passholder, contact us at [email protected], and we would see if we can arrange best-effort alternatives, including appointing a trusted individual to pick up the badge and providing additional Event Pass quota to allow appointed trusted individuals to join the event.

What payment options are available?

Community takes the following payment methods. Fees may apply.

Indonesian bank account transfer
Indonesian virtual account payments (Bank Mandiri VA, Bank Permata VA, BNI VA)
QRIS
Cross-Border QR for those with compatible Singapore, Malaysia and Thai bank accounts or e-wallets.

All payments will be charged in Indonesian Rupiah. Your bank may charge extra fees for international payments and currency exchange rates.

Can I pay with QRIS/Crossborder QR when I go through Registration and Checkout on my phone?

Due to Midtrans’ payment integration limitations, it does not let us display QRIS codes when the checkout is performed through your mobile app. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

You should plan to use a tablet or desktop browser, so Midtrans can properly generate a QRIS code for you to scan.

Attendees who only have access to a mobile phone can continue paying using virtual accounts, bank transfer, or debit and credit cards.

Do you still accept manual bank transfers for international attendees?

Since we now accept international credit and debit cards, it is no longer required to arrange manual bank transfers for Event Pass registration.

What happens if I close the checkout tab before paying? What if I close the payment window before completion?

It’s recommended for you to have a focused time to go through the entire registration and checkout flow. But if you accidentally close the Registration checkout page or a payment page, don’t worry - your place in the line is still being held!

Simply reopen community.furries.id, click on your profile on the top right, navigate to Purchase History, then navigate to the item labeled Awaiting Payment. Click on continue payment and you’ll be redirected back to the payment page.

If you accidentally closed the payment page and your source of fund has been debited, you can also check the status at this page. If all goes well, it should change the status to Paid.

The screenshot below illustrates what you should copy to us.

We will validate the payment status with our third-party provider and update your Event Pass issuance where necessary.
