| Eurofurence is a Furry Convention held in changing places in Europe every year. It was
originally started in 1995 as a private gathering by about fifteen European furry fans who met on the Internet.
Attendance has been steadily rising since then, currently reaching numbers between 300 and 400 each year.
The name of the convention derives from its American back-then-counterpart Confurence, emphatizing the European bias of the gathering.
Since the year 2000, Eurofurence is no longer organized by individual persons, but is generally controlled by the German
Verein
Eurofurence e.V., which serves as an administrative body for the convention.
