Awoostria is a furry convention held in Vienna, Austria, at the Andaz Vienna am Belvedere. It drew 1,057 attendees in 2025 and raised approximately 10,000 EUR for Handicats Katzenhoffnung Steiermark, with programming built around gamified, lore-driven themes.
From July 22-25, 2026, the convention takes over the Andaz Vienna Am Belvedere for a "Jungle Temple Expedition" theme. What sets Awoostria apart from standard conventions is its dedication to storytelling. Previous years featured intricate, slightly darker narratives (like 2025's "Rise of the Cults"), and attendees can expect a highly interactive, lore-driven experience for 2026.
Awoostria punches above its weight class on the charity front. Despite being a relatively new convention (officially launching in 2024 after years of smaller meets), its dedicated attendee base of around 1,000 furs consistently raises significant amounts for local causes, pulling in nearly 10,000 EUR for Handicats Katzenhoffnung Steiermark in 2025 alone.
Awoostria 2025 drew 1,057 attendees to its cult-themed weekend. The event raised €10,000 for Handicats Katzenhoffnung Steiermark and featured BetaEtaDelota and Ash Coyote as Guests of Honor.
