Borneo Anthro Hub staged its inaugural edition, "Adventure Below the Wind," across 20-21 June 2026 and has not yet announced a second edition. The official BAH 2027 page is a Coming Soon teaser that says its displayed visual is not the official theme. As of 26 August 2026 no 2027 dates, venue, theme, registration window, or ticket price had been confirmed. Watch the convention's official X and Facebook channels for a return announcement.

Borneo Anthro Hub held its inaugural edition on 20-21 June 2026 at the Horizon Hotel in Kota Kinabalu, becoming the first major furry convention on the island of Borneo and the first in the Malaysian state of Sabah. The debut wove Sabah's Kadazan-Dusun Kaamatan (harvest festival) culture through the whole program: halls named after Sabah districts (Horizon, Likas, Papar, Luyang), an Altar of Bambarayon charity raffle, a squeaker-friendly youth room, fursuit and headless lounges open both days, and two themed afterparties, Malam Aramaiti and Parti Sumayau. Registration ran on a three-tier BAHpals ladder (Padi Seeker, Guardian of Kinabalu, and Champion) and closed on 13 March 2026 with no walk-ins. In its official closing post, the organising team reported 236 total BAHpals and RM 11,460.76 raised through the charity raffle. The post did not identify the beneficiary, so that field remains unconfirmed.
Borneo Anthro Hub spent 2025 in development for its 2026 debut 'Adventure Below the Wind'. Organizers focused on securing the Horizon Hotel and finalizing its Harvest Festival motif.

3 quirks & policies that don't fit the highlights grid.
Every hall, panel, and tier named in Kadazan-Dusun mythology
Borneo Anthro Hub''s programming isn''t themed around Kadazan-Dusun culture, the entire information architecture is scaffolded on Kaamatan harvest-festival mythology. Halls, panels, after-parties, and charity activities are named in Kadazan-Dusun and Malay: Bambarayon (the rice spirit), Sumayau (traditional Kadazan dance), Aramaiti (a Kaamatan toast), Pondok and Lepak (gathering and lounging spaces), and the Huminodun tier lore (the maiden whose sacrifice produced rice in Kadazan creation myth).
Billed by its organisers as Borneo's first major furry convention
Borneo Anthro Hub's organisers present the 2026 debut as the first major furry convention on the island of Borneo and the first in East Malaysia. We have found no earlier one, but the claim is theirs rather than something we can independently prove: Borneo is split between three nations (Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei), and East Malaysia comprises the states of Sabah and Sarawak.
BAHjet concierge tracks halal restaurants and prayer-room locations
BAH runs a concierge system called BAHjet that publishes halal-tagged restaurants and Muslim-prayer-room locations around the venue alongside the standard food/transit recommendations. Few furry cons surface religious-observance logistics as first-class concierge content, but Sabah''s mixed Christian/Muslim demographic makes it a default expectation. The convention describes its two mascots, Sean and Aminah, as a cross-cultural pair designed to reflect that mix; we do not assign either mascot a religion.
