Ardent Furvour

Ardent Furvour was a proposed "sex-positive" furry convention. It was scheduled to be held over June 19-22, 2014, at the Sanctuary House Resort Motel in the Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia.

Ardent Furvour was organised by Raraka. and the theme of the convention would have been "Saved by the 90s".

It was announced that the convention would be sponsored by Bad Dragon, and that the organisers had "a lot of contests planned, and will be giving away a bunch of free toys".

Proposed activities
The event aimed to "create a space where people feel safe and comfortable in embracing the strong connection between furry and sexuality". It was intended to have a variety of panels, facilitated discussions, and keynote presentations around topics relating to sex and sexuality.

There would have be a separate stream of recreational events, including a day trip to Healesville Sanctuary, a charity concert, talks from special guests, fursuit games, and a bouncy castle.

Cancellation
On June 9, 2014, it was announced that Ardent Furvour had been cancelled due to an insufficient number of registrations.

The late cancellation left the organisers with "a substantial out-of-pocket cost", for which donations were sought.
