[3] After trying the Red Lion hotel, Confurence 0 was held at the Holiday Inn Bristol Plaza in Costa Mesa, California, on January 21 to 22, 1989.

The final ConFurence gathering gained notoriety when television crew from The Man Show appeared and attempted to interview attendees on camera.

[7] With the demise of ConFurence,[8] Mark Merlino and Robert Johnson Jr. teamed up to establish Califur in 2004 to continue the tradition of a furry convention in Southern California.

[9] ConFurence created the mold by which other furry conventions were to follow, with the successful art show, a masquerade and an emphasis on fan-created content and Guests of Honor.

As of 2018 there are dozens furry conventions and many more meets and gatherings all around the world, due in part to ConFurence's lead.
