Programming Summaries

Art, Publishing and Dealers:

Art Show:
The ConFurence Art Show is the largest of its kind in the world. This year we have over <yaddayadda>5,500 sq. feet of space for display and over 400 bidders place bids on the art. Everyone can join in! We have had many talented artists submit their works of art for the convention. Basic Art Show space is free. All we ask is you register for the convention. Read our ConFurence Art Show Rules and Guidelines to find out how to participate!

Art Auction:
This year, in preparation for the huge amount of art, we've planned out TWO seperate Art Auctions! Here's how it works: A piece is displayed at the Art Show. If 6 people bid on the piece for purchase, it automatically gets submitted into the auction. Check the ConFurence Schedule for dates and times.

Artist's Alley:
This is without a doubt one of ConFurence's most popular attractions. Here is the place where you can finally meet your favorite furry artist and ask for commissions, buy prints, trade sketchbooks and more more. The Artist Alley works on a first-come, first-serve basis once the convention starts. If you're an artist and would like to participate, contact ConFurence for more information or just register for the convention and stop by! - Info

Den of Dealers:
This is another large section of the convention. We have a sold out number of 75 dealers in this year's Den of Dealers and over 11,800 sq. feet of space. See our In-Fur-Nation page to find out who's selling their goods! - Info

Publisher's Row:
This section features a wide array of publishers, artists, and collectors selling their goods. It's unique in its own way as it surrounds the entrance to the Den of Dealers.

Dances and Social Events!

The Fursuit Dance:
Ever roam in a conga-line with a rodent or tango with a turtle? Don't look at me like that! It's possible! Come to the Fursuit Dance and see for yourself. I'm talking dozens of some of the most popular fursuits and zooters are here at the Fursuit Dance! Last year's was a blast. Help make it happen again this year. You don't need to fursuit to participate in one of the zaniest attractions ever. If you ARE a fursuiter and haven't taken part in this event or are thinking about it, email to info@confurence.com for more information or snail mail us!

Cabaret Fur-Le-Dance


The Purple Nurple Live!
Anyone who's been to the Purple Nurple on FurryMUCK doesn't need an explaination of this event. ;) And just as it's one of the most popular places on FurryMUCK, the same can be said of ConFurence's fully RL version. No fantasies here. This is the real deal. The Purple Nurple comes alive in its loud pumping music, dancing, flamboiant fun.

Club Techno-Fur:
For you Techno lovers out there, this is the one for you.

Presentations:

Costume Presentation / Fursuit Contest:
The spotlight is on you as you strut your stuff down the catwalk, posing for all the cameras, videocams, and some cheering (some drooling) fans applauding your way in your new... FURSUIT! Once again, ConFurence brings back the all-too-popular Costume Presentation and Fursuit Contest. This is the place to show what you've got!

Tribute to Minerva Mink:
This is a new event that I think it's about time for. This year, we're having a special presentation in honor of that smart and sexy 'toon, Minerva Mink! I personally don't know what's in store for those fans who take part in this special event, but I'm sure it'll be interesting. ;)

Video Theatre:
Once again, ConFurence brings back the 24-hour video/film theatre to watch those rare and wonderful furry flics that are so damn hard to find in most places, to be frank. I don't know where these people find some of the films that are shown. Everything from Animalympics to Kimba the Lion is shown here and more.

Filk Concerts and Contests:
The annual event of fun, music and poetry comes back this year with a whole new line-up of performers including Windborne, Michael Payne (with Seanan McGuire for a song or two), Cynthia McQuillin and Dr. Jane Robinson, and Leslie Fish.

History of the Furry Fandom
What's going to be at this? Fursuits, Fanzines, Comics, Portfolios, Posters, Plushies, Photo Blow-Ups, and other furry stuff, all on display showing how far ths fandom has come in these last ten years. Definately something to check out while you're here.

Pawfasting Celebration
This is an annual event held at ConFurence just for you and the one that you hold dearest. Show your mate or your special friend how much you care for them by taking part in this ceremony within the beautiful surroundings of the hotel's Rose Garden.

Special Events:
