Futrzakon is the first full-scale furry convention organized in Poland. Plans to hold this convention were made for a considerable amount of time until the first edition of the con took place in September of 2008. The name of the con quite simply derives from the polish words for Furry (Futrzak) and Convention (Konwent). The convention was organized in conjunction with heavy support from the polfurs.org web service, which provided site coding, publicity and hosting.

The website lists Futerkon 2012 as 7-11 August.^[1]

[edit] In Demand

Prior to the convention taking place, some criticism arose due to the limit of available places and the underestimation of public interest - as the only furry convention organised in Poland at present, Futrzakon caters to a population of several hundred (active users on Polfurs.org), who are mostly unwilling or unable to travel abroad to other conventions in Europe. Subsequently, the second edition of the convention has not grown enough to accommodate the amount of furries willing to participate. The third edition of Futrzakon will attempt to remedy this by changing the venue to a larger one.

The fourth edition of the event will take place over August 10-13, 2011. It is being organized by Cubey and seventy attendees are planned.
