Furpile is a Polish furry convention held at Hotel Metropol in Katowice, in the Upper Silesian region. Self-billed as "the most cuddly furry convention in Poland," it pairs a hotel-con format with a playful annual theme.
Furpile returns April 24-26, 2026 at Hotel Metropol Katowice under the theme "Lochy i Korposzczury" (Dungeons and Corporate-Rats), a tabletop-RPG dungeon crawl crossed with an office parody. Registration and pricing run through the official site; with details still rolling out, watch the convention's channels for ticket, guest, and charity announcements.
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 Katowice base makes 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.
