About Rocky Mountain Fur Con
Rocky Mountain Fur Con (RMFC) was an annual furry convention in Denver, Colorado, held from 2007 to 2016. It was first chaired by Kahuki Lairu, with Sorin Kat as assistant chair and later chairman, and was held at the Adam's Mark Hotel, the Hyatt Regency, the Crowne Plaza, the DoubleTree and the Marriott Denver Tech Center as it grew.

The 2017 convention, planned for August under the theme "Carnival Nocturne", was cancelled in April 2017.
