Antheria

Antheria was a furry convention located in Redondo Beach, California, USA. Originally slated to be at the Westin Los Angeles Airport, the venue was changed to the Best Western Sunrise just over a week before the inaugural convention.

The inspiration for the Antheria event was sparked in late 2009 by the board members of the management group Anthro International Entertainment, which owns and operates Antheria. The focus for the event was on "professionalism and quality", and the staff's stated goal was to "continually bring a remarkable event of impeccable professionalism and integrity to the southern California area".

Dissolution
While the organizers have yet to formally announce the dissolution of Antheria, no promotions were ever made for a 2012 event, the official convention homepage displays only a black page, website material for Antheria 2010 was deleted, and the convention's Twitter feed's last tweet was on 27 September 2010, and the convention's social interaction Twitter feed was closed down by formal order in July 2014. Numerous requests made in 2012 to '2', one of the convention organizers, to ascertain the convention's fate were not answered.
