The con is jokingly called by staff the accidental con seeing as it was originally simply a sub-event of a separate con that exploded as interest in the event increased. Fur Reality hopes to be an annual event in the [[Wikipedia:Cincinnati|Cincinnati]], [[Wikipedia:Ohio|Ohio]], and will likely grow in coming years. During its start up fledgling years the con has the plan to stay associated and sister to the [http://thepandorasociety.com/pandoracon/ Pandoracon]sharing similar themes and running in concurrently allowing attendees of both to enjoy the events and panels of both cons. The hotel for Fur Reality may change for the first few years as the convention grows and stabilize and remain the same once the con size has reached a relatively stable size. Fur Reality looks to be a immersive con providing events that don't just match the years theme but also take the attendee into the theme in interactive ways.
