'''Furlandia''' is an annual American [[furry convention]].

== Overview and history ==

Furlandia, first held over May 10-12, 2013, was founded in 2013 by a group of [[fur]]s from the Portland area, prompted by the local [[furry community]]'s desire for a [[convention]] of their own going back several years.

The effort to organize the first year was headed in large part by [[Atso Fox]], [[Triss Winterdusk]], [[Saph]], and [[GEAR Con]] founder and [[Rose City Steampunk Film Festival]] director [[Stephen Couchman]].

Furlandia was later moved to the [[W:Memorial Day|Memorial Day weekend]].

=== Joining RAIn ===

Furlandia organizers had been in talks with '''Rainfurrest Anthropomorphics International'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[board of directors]] for several months before the decision was made to join their organization. The process was completed in early 2014, and then the president of RAIn, [[Gene Armstrong]], was brought on as [[co-chair]] for the 2014 convention.

Furlandia (and [[RainFurrest]] ['''RF'''] until its cancellation) were both produced by RAIn in 2014 and 2015. From 2016 to 2018, Furlandia was RAIn's sole convention-level event, being joined by [[RustyCon]] and [[SpokAnthro]] for 2019. Since 2020, Furlandia has once again become RAIn's sole convention-level event.
