==2013==<br />
Fur Reality 2013 was held over the October 11-13th weekend.<ref>http://www.furreality.org/ Retrieved Oct. 14, 2013</ref> In its initial year, it was run concurrently with [http://thepandorasociety.com/pandoracon/ Pandoracon], a [[Sci-fi]]/[[Fantasy]] convention held annually in Cincinnati, Ohio. Originally it was to be a sub-event of Pandoracon, but it quickly outgrew the space that had been allotted it in the original convention hotel. The con moved to [http://hiltongardeninn3.hilton.com/en/hotels/ohio/hilton-garden-inn-cincinnati-sharonville-CVGSHGI/index.html the Hilton Garden Inn Cincinnati/Sharonville]<ref>http://www.furreality.org/hotel/ Retrieved Oct. 14, 2013</ref> located a few miles from the Pandoracon event, but still held several events at the original [http://www.thehotelatrium.com/ Atrium Hotel] location. The convention will host nearly 30 hours of events and panels over its three day span; including the popular [[Whose Lion is it Anyway]], Open Mic, Match Game and a live episode of [[The Dragget Show]]. The con also features a con suite open to all attendees of the Fur Reality con, as well as a special event for those that paid for the god level memberships. As with most fur conventions Fur Reality will also host a [[dealers den]] and [[artists alley]] with 12 varieties of vendors and 10 artist spaces with rotating artists throughout the con. A ticket to Fur Reality also allowed admission to all of Pandoracon's events<ref>http://www.furreality.org/registration/ Retrieved Oct. 14, 2013</ref> allowing members of the con to attend and enjoy both cons. Pandoracon attendees were required to pay an additional fee to gain access to the Fur Reality panels and events. The separation of the cons attendance badges was to allow a reprieve for both fandoms if they so chose. The theme, shared by both cons, was "Into the Labyrinth".<ref>http://www.furreality.org/conbook/ Retrieved Oct. 14, 2013</ref><br />
