Eurofurence

Eurofurence (commonly abbreviated EF) is a furry convention, initially held in changing places in Europe every year, but staying in Germany since 2004.

It was originally started in 1995 as a private gathering by nineteen European furry fans who met on the Internet.

Attendance has been steadily rising since then, to 5,241 at Eurofurence 28 (held in 2024), making it the largest furry convention outside the United States and seventh largest worldwide.

[1] The name of the convention derives from its then-contemporary American counterpart ConFurence, emphasising the European nature of the gathering.

Contrary to most American furry conventions, Eurofurence traditionally took place at youth hostels.
