About IndyFurCon
IndyFurCon (iFC) is an annual furry convention in Indianapolis, Indiana, run by Indiana Anthropomorphic Arts Inc., a 501(c)(7) non-profit. It was first held August 13 to 15, 2010, at the Hilton Indianapolis North, billed as a chance for Midwest furs to gather between larger conventions. It later moved to the Sheraton at Keystone Crossing, the Indianapolis Marriott East, the Wyndham Indianapolis West and, in 2026, the Hyatt Regency Indianapolis downtown, when it also moved to Labor Day weekend. Each year has a playful theme, and attendance has grown from 350 in 2010 to over 2,700 in 2026.
