About ConFurgence
ConFurgence was an annual furry convention in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, first held under this name in 2014 as the successor to MiDFur (Melbourne in December Fur Meet), which had run since 1999. It was organized by Australian Fandom Conventions. The convention was held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre in 2014, the Arrow on Swanston in 2015 and the Amora Riverwalk Melbourne Hotel in Richmond from 2016. As of February 2018 it was Australia's longest-running furry convention and one of the largest in the country. Five editions were held, from 2014 to 2018, each with a theme such as "Egyptian Nights" and "Gods of Olympus".
