FurcoNZ is an annual gathering of the New Zealand furry community, with a distinctively Kiwi outdoors theme. Since 2007, it has typically been held at the end of the year, around end of November or start of December. From 2009 to 2012, the event organizers scheduled FurcoNZ on "back-to-back" weekends with MiDFur (in Melbourne, Australia) to entice overseas attendees to make both events in the same intercontinental trip. From 2014 to 2020, FurcoNZ was held over or near Waitangi Weekend. Beginning as a small indoor furmeet often hosted at a private residence until 2007, it has grown into a weekend furry camping event at a camp or lodge site with scheduled activities and official programming.
History[edit]
2002-2006[edit]
From 2002-2006, FurcoNZ was hosted in private residences areas.
2007-Present[edit]
Starting in 2007, FurcoNZ was no longer hosted in private residence areas, but was rather relocated to a camp or lodge site in New Zealand, creating a change in event programming tailored to outdoor activities.
