Furpocalypse, Inc. is a furry convention held from 2014-2019 in Cromwell Connecticut, Connecticut, and since 2022 in Stamford, Connecticut. It was founded by former FurFright staff in order to continue the tradition of an annual Halloween-themed Connecticut convention, after the dissolution of FurFright.
The Furpocalypse website describes the event as "a Halloween-based Anthropomorphic convention in Stamford, Connecticut that raises money for local animal and social charities.The 4-day event hosts Anthropomorphic enthusiasts from all over the world, enjoying a wide variety of classes, discussion groups, and events."[1]
During Closing Ceremonies on October 27, 2019, it was announced the convention will be moving to the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Stamford, Connecticut beginning with the next convention, scheduled for October 29 through November 1, 2020. [2] Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the physical convention was cancelled with a virtual version to be presented online. In May of 2021 it was announced that the convention was again cancelled due to the pandemic, with plans for an online virtual version. The Crowne Plaza was renamed The Armon and Furpocalypse was held there in 2022.
