Hamburg is a well-connected European city:

The CCH works well with the local hotel grid:
A year-by-year record of this convention
Open an edition to see the details that belong to that year.
Access to the convention, a standard badge, ONE FREE FURSUIT BADGE, the program book and every scheduled event
A low-entry sponsor level that exists to keep the base ticket affordable. Adds a contributor badge and a small collectable token
Adds an honourable mention in the program book, THURSDAY early access to the Dealers Den and Art Show, priority queueing for some events, a sponsor pack and a free T-shirt
The same, with SUPER-early Thursday access ahead of Sponsors and a Super Sponsor pack
Every tier includes one free fursuit badge, so a suiter does not pay extra to be identified; further badges are 5 euro each. The sponsor pack and the free T-shirt at the top two tiers are "subject to availability when booked one month before the convention or later", so buying late gets the tier without the goods that justify it. The 15 euro discount applies if PAID before 18 March, not merely booked, and a 15 euro late fee starts 18 May. Add-ons are priced separately and none is bundled: a Stage Pass for the stage events is 5, a T-shirt 25, and a purely voluntary Benefactor contribution 50. Additional fursuit badges were 5, the Dead Dog Party was 10 and marked sold out, and a limited number of day tickets was promised without a price or a sale date.

Eurofurence 30 ran August 19-23, 2026 at the CCH Congress Center Hamburg as the convention's 30th anniversary edition. The "Fantastic Furry Festival" theme framed the event as a desert festival, dressing the venue in art installations and stages.
The Guests of Honour were Animal Art Crimes, a Denver street-art collective represented at EF30 by Domino Twist, Kenket, No Fair, and WopboL. The charity was Seehundstation Friedrichskoog, a North Sea seal rescue station. The official association history now lists 9,139 attendees, while the official pages checked on August 29 still do not publish a final charity total.
Eurofurence 29 saw strong growth, reaching 6,455 attendees in Hamburg. The convention raised EUR 51,081.88 for Hamburger Tierschutzverein von 1841 e.V., with Nomax as Guest of Honor.
EF 2024 drew 5,241 attendees to Hamburg under the "Cyberpunk" theme. Iris was Guest of Honor, and the charity collection closed at EUR 46,461 for Wildtierschutz Deutschland e.V.
The first Hamburg edition after nine years at the Estrel in Berlin, "Black Magic" dipped slightly to 3,408 attendees, which is what a venue move usually costs a convention. Pechschwinge was Guest of Honor, and attendees donated EUR 40,004.88 to UAnimals.
"Welcome to Tortuga" was the first in-person Eurofurence after two online years, and 3,495 people came back for it at the Estrel Hotel in Berlin. Fox Amoore and JoJoe shared Guest of Honor duties, and the pirate-themed weekend raised EUR 33,250.50 for The Cheetah Preservation Foundation.

3 quirks & policies that don't fit the highlights grid.
The Estrel → CCH move
Eurofurence ran out of the Estrel Berlin from 2014 through 2022, where the hotel's scale (one of Europe's largest, with 1,125 rooms) let the convention live entirely under one roof: sleep, panels, dealers, and parties all in one building.
Two dance contests, two formats
Most cons run one dance competition. Eurofurence runs two, on deliberately different formats, and they're treated as separate flagship events on the schedule.
Publicly distanced from X/Twitter on values grounds
Eurofurence has publicly stepped away from X/Twitter citing platform-values incompatibility, a codified org stance rather than a quiet drift. The con runs its public presence on Bluesky, Mastodon, Telegram, Discord, Vimeo, YouTube, and a dedicated iOS/Android convention app with scheduling, and the EF30 Dealers Den bans AI-generated artwork as a related editorial policy.
