FurGIV is northern Vietnam's home convention, the Hanoi counterpart to Ho Chi Minh City's FUVE, and it builds each edition around a strong, playful theme, for 2026, a whole-con school day. The organizers foreground a welcoming "safe space" mission and actively invite international guests, making it an approachable entry point for travelers exploring Southeast Asia's furry scene. With a named guest of honor and a step up to a larger hotel for 2026, it's a convention visibly growing year on year.
