I think they should! Although it requires a rather substantial investment in equipment. They need a badge printer (and depending on size and registration system, two or even three), badge stock with magnetic strips, and a hotel that uses the standard CR-80 card size and is willing to work with them.
I briefly thought about it for Anthrocon but then realized that I have four hotels that use different key-card sizes, which would really muck things up.

I can imagine that. The only US con I've been to is FC, and they use credit-card sized roomkeys, which also have customized art. I can imagine printing a few thousand roomkeys with the same picture on is is a lot cheaper than having a custom one for every attendee, but then again they do need to give everyone a badge with a custom sticker anyway, and they also offer free (credit card-sized) fursuit badges. I never even thought of combining them until EF!

Oh heck yes! Anything you'd need me for, as long as I have SOME time on my hands I'd love to do it :)

I think moving Eurofurence to Magdeburg was the right decision. There were lots of things that would not have been possible otherwise. Just look at the space the fursuit-lounge, artshow and dealers den got.
I know of no other furry convention in the world that offered so many dryers for fursuits before:
Thanks to everyone who helped building it so quickly.
The daily Eurofurence newsletter was very well received:
Having those is also very helpfully if you want to explain what happens at a furry convention ... now I have to translate those for my mother.
The pawpet-show moved me to tears:
I couldn't take many photos at Kage vs. 2 - I was laughing too hard:
It was fun to help at the fursuit-gameshow - sorry it took me so long to calculate the scores:
Fursuit theater was very nice:
I took a lot of fursuit-pictures:
A small selection of those is at http://media.furcon.de/Eurofurence/ef16/tn
The events at the Piano Bar were great - especially the death dog party (that worked much better when last year).
The hotel staff was very nice and it someone heard the cleaning ladies complaining - they had every right to do so (some fursuiters should learn that leaving wet toilet-paper everywhere in the room after drying a fursuit is not a good idea).
As a fursuiter the biggest improvement was having one room-key per person. Also the rooms were bigger - I had three fursuits with me and did not occupy all the space.
I spend less money on food when at EF 15 - there were a lot of good (and not expensive) restaurants in walking distance. I did pay a lot for parking, but that was my own choice (I was just too lazy to drive my car to a cheaper garage).
I think everything worked very well considering it was the first time in this hotel. The Eurofurence staff did a marvelous job. I'm very grateful for all the work the put into this convention.
