ConFuzzled is a UK convention to celebrate the genre of anthropomorphics, or furry fandom. ConFuzzled UK is registered as a private company limited by guarantee, no. 06185967 (incorporated 27 March 2007).^[1]

[edit] History

Planning for ConFuzzled started in 2005, after several people from the UK furry community became frustrated by a lack of prior organization. This group decided to organize a furry convention, based upon their experience with furmeets. The convention has received help and advice from Chairo, Cheetah, Kiran Lightpaw, and Timduru.

Confirmation of the venue was announced on the website in February 2007; the same month further details of the convention events were also announced, along with the unveiling of the website and logo. The ConFuzzled Forum and FAQ opened on May 12, 2007. ConFuzzled Focus, a magazine-style newsletter started on 29 October 2007.

[edit] Registration

Registration for ConFuzzled 2009 opened at 9pm BST (UTC+1) on the 31st July, and the attendance+accommodation tickets sold out within weeks. ConFuzzled is now offering an attendance only rate for those that live locally or wish to stay in local hotels. The attendance only rate does not include food at the hostel and is currently limited to 50 places. Prices are £50 attending, £160 standard (including accommodation and food), and £200 sponsor. The standard and sponsor rates are cheaper than those in 2008. "Early Badgers" who register and pay before the 2nd September 2009 get a £10 discount. For those that still wish to wait for an attendance+accommodation ticket (standard or sponsor), a waiting list is active.

[edit] Mascot

ConFuzzled's mascot is Brok, a black and white badger with a top hat and an affinity for cookies; he has his own page on the website. Brok was officially unveiled on June 20, 2007 as the convention mascot. He was designed by Josef "Tabbie" Zsapka with the original concept by FurbleFox.
