Through our hard work, we have forged a new society in our nation of Furlandia. While our age of industry has ended, it has yielded wonderous growth and bounty. Come join us in 2017 for our adventures back into the 1920s and the age of prosperity.

Our convention space and hotels are air conditioned, but we know that some
of you like to head outside and have fun in the sun! This means we're asking
all of you to ensure that you bring adequate sun screen and protection, as
well as a reusable water bottle you can keep with you at all times. There
are water fountains in the Mt. Hood foyer, outside of the main theatre,
and in the corridor west of registration in the Garden foyer, so you can
easily keep your bottle topped off!
Keeping hydrated will ensure you enjoy the convention and avoid heat stroke.
This is especially important for those of you who are fursuiting at con.
Your body loses a lot of water while in a fursuit, and hot weather won't help.
If you have a heat-related medical emergency, the paramedics will be saving you,
not your fursuit!
Plan ahead, drink lots, and here's to a fun, safe convention!
Pre-registration has closed, but don't worry—you can still register at the
door!
Attending membership for all 3 days of the convention: $45
Friday only: $20
Saturday only: $20
Sunday only: $15
T-shirts will also be available at the door (limited quantity; while supplies
last) for $20!
To our gamer friends: Special Guests Epic Gaming will be hosting our usual
catalog, including our wide variety of board and card games. They will also be
hosting their own Sanctioned Magic Draft Flights, On-Demand Commander Pods, and
their Modern & Retro Console Gaming Arcade. It's a definite must-play!
We also have many new events this year, in addition to our old favorites! Check
out our schedule to learn more!
Can't wait to see you all at Furlandia 1929: Age of Prosperity!

Need to book a hotel for Furlandia? We've just added two new hotels to our list!
For the first time in our history, we've managed to sell out of our main
convention hotel! But don't worry — we've been working hard behind
the scenes and our wonderful hotel team have negotiated special rates for
Furlandia attendees at two more hotels: the Hampton Inn Portland-Airport
and Aloft Portland Airport at Cascade Station!
Both hotels are super-close to our convention too, so you won't have to worry
about missing out on any of the fun. The Hampton Inn Portland-Airport
is right next door to our main convention hotel, while the Aloft Portland
Airport at Cascade Station is just a short distance away. Even though
it's a short walk or drive away, you'll be pleased to know that there's
a complimentary shuttle service between the Aloft Portland Airport at
Cascade Station and the Sheraton Portland Airport Hotel!
To find out more about both hotels, visit our
hotel page,
where you'll find room rates, a list of amenities for each hotel, and a direct
booking link for our preferred rates.
The early bird gets the worm, and the early fur gets some extra goodies!
Believe it or not, we're now just six months away from our next con, and we've
already got lots of eager attendees registered to join us in the fun world of
Furlandia 1929: Age of Prosperity!
Aside from all the great guests of honor we've got lined up this
year, including Foxes and Peppers, Etuix, Onnanoko, Temperance (Komickrazi) and
DJ Jumpiicat, we've got a whole bunch of great events already scheduled that you
won't want to miss!
There's our inaugural Artists' Alley, some great panels for first-time attendees
and veterans alike, as well as our very first MotoFur meetup. That's in addition
to our usual fursuit parade, Dealers' Den and dances, as well as two headline
concerts from Fox Amoore and Pepper Coyote!
And because it's the season of giving, we've decided to give attendees who
register and pay for their membership before 11:59:59 PM PST on December 31,
2016 a free decal for being so well organized about their con attendance.
You'll also be automatically entered into a prize drawing to win an
extra-special secret early-bird prize, which will be drawn by one of our Guests
of Honor live at opening ceremonies!
So what are you waiting for? Register and pay for your attendance in full by
December 31, 2016 11:59:59 PM PST in order to enter the drawing!
Wow! We're still six months from the convention, but we've already managed to
break a record for Furlandia 2017 Dealers' Den applications!
We would love to include everyone who has applied to exhibit with us for 2017.
As it stands, we already have almost twice as many requests for dealer space
as we have tables!
Although we're thrilled by your enthusiasm and interest, we've had to make the
tough decision to close our Dealer registration for 2017 earlier than expected.
Thank you so much to all of the vendors who want to be part of our great
adventure! The new deadline for Dealers' Den applications is Sunday, December
4 at 11:59:59 PM PST.
We know some of you will be disappointed, but remember that we will be
introducing an Artist Alley in 2017, so don't give up hope! Also, if you apply
before our new cut-off, we'll add you to a wait list in case someone cancels or
can't make it.
We'll be reaching out to all applicants over the next two weeks to let you know
whether you were selected and with directions on what to do next. Looking
forward to seeing you at Furlandia 2017: Age of Prosperity!
Transport: Street parking is metered. SmartPark garage is across the street. No free parking, unfortunately, but TriMet/MAX service is very convenient.
Our meetings are open to the public, but you can RSVP over at Meetup.com.

Earlier today, Furlandia’s executive team was made aware of a blog post written by a member of the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team
which we feel misrepresented both Portland’s annual anthropomorphic convention and the wider fandom in general.
In the interests of goodwill, education and outreach, we feel it appropriate to issue a formal statement challenging her inaccurate misrepresentation of our fandom
and to extend a paw of friendship to the team in the hope that they will come to know the ‘furry fandom’ better.
While the blog post does not mention our annual convention hotel or the convention by name, she did link to our website,
making it clear that we were indeed the convention she was referring to.
Tapping into an oft-debunked myth about the fandom and its interest in anthropomorphic animals,
her post insinuated that attendees were present for one thing and one thing only: adult content.
As Portland’s premiere family-friendly anthropomorphic arts convention,
Furlandia has grown from its humble beginnings in 2013 to become one of the Top 20 anthro conventions by attendance,
anywhere in the world! Over the past three years, we’ve learned a lot, and we’ve grown a lot.
We’ve made mistakes (every convention has) but we think we’ve learned from them and become a great convention in just a few years.
Just like the fandom in general, Furlandia is welcoming of fans of anthropomorphic art in all its forms,
from digital arts to storytelling, puppetry, music, crafts, dance and costumed performance (fursuiting),
and we’re proud to welcome all to our convention, regardless of race, religion, sexuality, socioeconomic status, or age.
Our 2016 Furlandia convention – the steampunk-inspired Furlandia 1850: Age of Industry! – was our largest convention yet,
attracting a total of 763 attendees from all across North America and the world.
Like the wider fandom, our attendees represented a broad spectrum of the population.
Some of our attendees we...
