The upcoming Little Island Furcon was supposed to take place physically over July 4-5, 2020 at Genting Hotel Jurong, Singapore, and to be themed Swords & Sorcery.[5] The Guest of Honor for the second iteration of the convention will be Zephyxus, who will be releasing an art book called 'Beast Soul' during the convention.[6]

Early bird registrations opened on February 1, 2020 and were available on the convention website[7] until March 21, 2020[8]. Three tiers are available for interested participants, namely, Attendee, Sponsor and Super Sponsor tiers.

Due to measures implemented by the Singapore government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, registrations have been limited to 249 participants to comply with the new rules[9]. Additional safety measures are implemented by the committee to reassure attendees that the convention will still carry on safely.

It was however on April 8th, 2020 when Little Island Furcon organisers announced it on their twitter page that LIFC 2020 was cancelled due to the pandemic

A second online convention was held on December 3, 2022[10], with the theme of Victorian Murder Mystery. LIFCO created an ARG to fit the theme and build hype for the con, with players deciphering clues hidden on LIFC's website social media posts, and Discord to uncover the identity of the titular murderer. Programming and events were similar to the previous online iteration. There were 220 attendees. At closing ceremonies, it was announced that LIFC plans to hold two annual events, a physical convention in the middle of the year and an online convention in November or December.[11]
