About Gdakon
Gdakon is an annual furry convention in Gdańsk, Poland, held in winter and one of the largest conventions in Poland. It was created to fill a gap in the winter event calendar, grew out of a series of furmeets in Gdańsk organized mainly by Raksha, and became a convention as more guests, including more foreign guests, attended. It outgrew the Bursztynek hostel and moved to the Amber hotel. Gdakon follows the example of foreign furry conventions while adapting them to Polish settings, and its organizers work closely with SachsenFurs from Germany. Attendance has grown from 20 in 2007 to 738 in 2026.
