Dave247: Clarified text

'''Boost''' is a [[fursuiter]] who currently lives in [[W:Melbourne, Victoria|Melbourne, Victoria]], Australia. He has previously lived in the Australian city of [[w:Perth|Perth]], Western Australia.

Boost's [[character]], which he created himself, is a domesticated [[cheetah]]. The [[fursuit]] of this character was built by Eric "[[Snap E. Tiger]]" Stevens of ByCats4Cats. It debuted in 2014 and has been seen at [[FurDU]], [[ConFurgence]], [[FurWAG]], [[Anthrocon]] as well as other non-furry [[conventions]] and local [[furmeets]].

Boost was a Fursuit team member for [[ConFurgence]] 2016, and then the Fursuit Team leader for ConFurgence 2017.

Boost is currently dating [[CynWolfe]], a gothic Arctic wolf from Melbourne, Victoria. Boost and CynWolfe made their first appearance as a couple at [[ConFurgence]] 2016: Gods of Olympus

==Hobbies==
Boost can usually be found working under the bonnets of cars during the day, and lurking in the [[furry]] world on the internet in the evenings. At the weekend he can often be found at [[furmeet|furry meets]] both in Perth and across Australia.

'''ConFurgence''', formerly [[MiDFur]] (Melbourne in December Fur Meet), is an [[furry convention]] that has been held annually since 1999 in [[W:Melbourne|Melbourne]], [[W:Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]], Australia.

==History==

In late 2012, It was announced that ConFurgence would for the most part, replace [[MiDFur]],{{cn}} with the original name being handed back to the community for future use.{{clarify}}

The change was needed due to the growth of the convention, with room running out at the Arrow on Swanston and others being cost prohibitive, and because December is an inconvenience, with university exams falling in that month. Also, changing the month made the name effectively obsolete.<ref>http://www.flayrah.com/4488/melbournes-midfur-change-name-dates-venue ''Melbourne's MiDFur to change name, dates and venue''] article on [[Flayrah]]. Retrieved ?.</ref>

===Locations===
In it's first year in 2014 ConFurgence took place at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC). The following year in 2015 it was originally scheduled to be at the Jasper Hotel, but then was later changed to the Arrow on Swanston. In 2016 ConFurgence again changed venues, first at the Citiclub Hotel and then finally to the Amora Hotel.

===Themes===
* 2014 "Egyptian Nights"
* 2015 "The Dragon Dynasty".
* 2016 "Gods of Olympus"
* 2017 "Dawn of the Seventh Realm"
* 2018 "Heroes of Furtropolis"

== Organization ==

ConFurgence is owned and operated by Australian Fandom Conventions, the same organisation who operated [[MiDFur]], and it is still run by the ConFurgence board, of which these partners are equal members.

=== Staff===
Below is a current list of staff, taken from the official website.<ref>[http://www.confurgence.com/boardcontact-us.html Board Members] Retrieved January 12, 2017</ref>

== Furry Hall of Fame ==
{{main|Furry Hall of Fame}}
The [[Furry Hall of Fame]] was conceived by CynWolfe in 2008, and its first induction was held that year at MiDFur X. While the Hall has a worldwide reach, and is not intended to be event-specific, its induction ceremony has been organized by [[AUSFA/AFC]] and was hosted by MiDFur each year through 2012, but there is no indication so far if it will continue with ConFurgence.

I know you guys want the date that Jenner started working at Confurgence but seeing as he used to work at [[MiDFur]] I would assume that he just carried over along with a few others, though I cannot confirm this. Also that Jenner is very personal outside conventions so any information about them would be second hand through someone else. --[[User:Dave247|Dave247]] ([[User talk:Dave247|talk]]) 22:10, 11 January 2017 (EST)

Jenner

2017-01-12T02:49:11Z

Dave247: /* Fandom involvement */ Reworded for past tense

Doctor '''Jenner''' (born 1961) is an Australian [[cartoonist]] who lives in Melbourne, and is a former member of [[Rowrbrazzle]].

Jenner has been an Australian newspaper and magazine cartoonist for over twenty years, drawing professionally and non-professionally in both the Australian and US scene in the small amount of time outside his duties as a full-time doctor. He is currently working in a city general practice, and has adopted the anonymous pen name Jenner as an ethical courtesy. Although a daily strip on the Internet is four years old, his Doc Rat character has been appearing in medical and non-medical magazines for over a decade, including Bush Alert and vicdoc.

== Fandom involvement ==

He created the [[webcomic]]s [[Downunderground]] and [[Doc Rat]], and contributed to [[The Everchanging Palace]]. He was a member of the APAs [[Rowrbrazzle]] and [[Huzzah]]. Jenner has released 9 full comic strip books, released his 10th in December at [[MiDFur]] 2012.

Jenner was inducted into the [[Furry Hall of Fame]] in 2010 along side [[Stan Sakai]], [[Big Blue Fox]] and [[MiDFur]] Chairman [[CynWolfe]], who he himself inducted.

Jenner was also a Board member for [[MiDFur]], heading up the Guest Liaison department, and then [[ConFurgence]] for Guest Relations.{{when}}

'''ConFurgence''', formerly [[MiDFur]] (Melbourne in December Fur Meet), is an [[furry convention]] that has been held annually since 1999 in [[W:Melbourne|Melbourne]], [[W:Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]], Australia.

==History==

In late 2012, It was announced that ConFurgence would for the most part, replace [[MiDFur]],{{cn}} with the original name being handed back to the community for future use.{{clarify}}

The change was needed due to the growth of the convention, with room running out at the Arrow on Swanston and others being cost prohibitive, and because December is an inconvenience, with university exams falling in that month. Also, changing the month made the name effectively obsolete.<ref>http://www.flayrah.com/4488/melbournes-midfur-change-name-dates-venue ''Melbourne's MiDFur to change name, dates and venue''] article on [[Flayrah]]. Retrieved ?.</ref>

===Locations===
In it's first year in 2014 ConFurgence took place at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC).
The following year in 2015 it was originally scheduled to be at the Jasper Hotel, but then was later changed to the Arrow on Swanston.
In 2016 ConFurgence again changed venues, first at the Citiclub Hotel and then finally to the Amora Hotel, where it remains there to this day.

===Themes===
* 2014 "Egyptian Nights"
* 2015 "Gods of Olympus"
* 2016 "Dawn of the Seventh Realm"
* 2017 "Heroes of Furtropolis"

== Organization ==

ConFurgence is owned and operated by Australian Fandom Conventions, the same organisation who operated [[MiDFur]], and it is still run by the ConFurgence board, of which these partners are equal members.

=== Staff ===

* '''Pete J Smith''' ([[CynWolfe]] - Chief Executive Officer
* '''Nathan Cooper''' ([[StarShadow]]) - Chief administrative officer
* [[Kuroko]] - Events
* [[Nonna Bunny]] - Dealers Den
* [[Thane Staples]] - Human Resources
* [[Nova Dimitryi Halvern|Nova]] - Logistics
* [[Boost]] - Fursuiting
* [[Tayla]] - Memberships
* [[Jenner]] - Guest Relations
* [[Skye]] - Director, Multimedia

== Furry Hall of Fame ==
{{main|Furry Hall of Fame}}
The [[Furry Hall of Fame]] was conceived by CynWolfe in 2008, and its first induction was held that year at MiDFur X. While the Hall has a worldwide reach, and is not intended to be event-specific, its induction ceremony has been organized by [[AUSFA/AFC]] and was hosted by MiDFur each year through 2012, but there is no indication so far if it will continue with ConFurgence.

Dave247: Added brief Confurgence history

[[File:1289998425.caroo badge k9.png|200px|right|thumb|N0va's conbadge from Midfur XII, drawn by [[Caroo]].]]
'''Nova Dimitryi Halvern''', also known as '''n0va''', '''k9pilot''', '''k9pilot85''', and '''Nova Dingo''' (born December 17),<ref name="NovaLJP">[http://k9pilot.livejournal.com/profile Nova Dimitryi Halvern's profile] on [[LiveJournal]]. Retrieved December 8, 2010</ref> is a [[furry]] who was born and raised in [[Wikipedia:Ingham, Queensland|Ingham]] in [[Wikipedia:North Queensland|North Queensland]], Australia.<ref name="NovaLJP"/> He is an occasional [[writer]] of "strange stories with unbearable amounts of romance".

Nova's [[fursona]] is a black [[dingo]] with [[Kitsune (mythology)|kitsune]] heritage. He is usually hidden behind his darkened glasses, his three tails only wagging at the rarest of times. With an Australian upbringing, a Russian name, and a fluency in French vocals, this [[hybrid]] is a paradox wrapped in a enigma with tails.

==History==
Having been in the [[furry fandom]] since around 2000, Nova's roots actually lie within the anthro [[Pokemon]] community. After finding his furry side, he spent many years on [[Furcadia]] but later moved away from the social aspect, remaining in the shadows collecting many pieces of [[canine]] artwork.

====MidFur 12====
Nova's first furry [[convention]] was [[MiDFur|MiDFur 12]] in 2010, where he worked as a volunteer. Intending to take two eight-hour shifts, he ended up covering three days days from 9AM to past midnight, handling Con Logistics and marshalling [[fursuiter]]s.

The most expensive item in MiDFur 12's [[charity auction]] (and to date the most expensive non-legacy piece sold) was won by Nova. $A670 was donated to the Lost Dogs Home for [[Caroo]]'s “Villans of MidFur X11” colour original.

====ConFurgence====
Nova now spends his time managing logistics for [[ConFurgence]].

The [[Furry Hall of Fame]] was conceived by CynWolfe in 2008, and its first induction was held that year at MiDFur X. While the Hall has a worldwide reach, and is not intended to be event-specific, its induction ceremony has been organized by [[AUSFA/AFC]] and was hosted by MiDFur each year through 2012, but there is no indication so far if it will continue with ConFurgence.

'''ConFurgence''', formerly [[MiDFur]] (Melbourne in December Fur Meet), is an [[furry convention]] that has been held annually since 1999 in [[W:Melbourne|Melbourne]], [[W:Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]], Australia.

==History==

In late 2012, It was announced that ConFurgence would for the most part, replace [[MiDFur]],{{cn}} with the original name being handed back to the community for future use.{{clarify}}

The change was needed due to the growth of the convention, with room running out at the Arrow on Swanston and others being cost prohibitive, and because December is an inconvenience, with university exams falling in that month. Also, changing the month made the name effectively obsolete.<ref>http://www.flayrah.com/4488/melbournes-midfur-change-name-dates-venue ''Melbourne's MiDFur to change name, dates and venue''] article on [[Flayrah]].
