Furpile is a Polish hotel furry convention. Its 2026 edition was held at Hotel Metropol in Katowice, in the Upper Silesian region, after two editions in Łódź. Self-billed as "the most cuddly furry convention in Poland," it pairs a hotel-con format with a playful annual theme.
Furpile has not announced the dates, venue or ticket price of its next hotel convention yet. Furpile has met in late April or May so far, and the organisers post news on their Bluesky and Telegram channel. The convention website is only reachable from Poland, Germany, Czechia and Slovakia.
Furpile leans into a warm, low-key identity, "the most cuddly furry con in Poland", that sets the tone for a relaxed hotel weekend. The yearly theme gives each edition a distinct flavor, and its 2026 move to Katowice made it a natural choice for furries in southern Poland and the wider Upper Silesian area, away from the larger Warsaw and Gdańsk events. For attendees who want a friendly, mid-sized hotel con with a strong sense of play, it's an easy weekend to slot into the spring calendar.
