Further Confusion 2026 ran January 15-19 at the San Jose Convention Center, reporting 6,811 paid registrations and 6,621 badges printed. The convention raised $45,279 for The Street Dog Coalition, continuing its tradition as the opening event of the global convention calendar year.
The "Beach Episode" theme leaned into the classic anime trope with tropical decor throughout the venue, beach-themed dance competitions, and a relaxed summer-in-January atmosphere that contrasted with the Bay Area's chilly weather outside. The art show was juried as usual and drew strong submissions from professional-tier furry artists, and the dealers den filled out the convention center's main exhibition hall.
San Jose's downtown setting kept attendees within walking distance of the Marriott and Hilton hotels, with Critter Olympics, a fursuit parade, and an active room party scene rounding out the programming. FC's history of charity giving continued growing, with the 2026 total nearly doubling the 2024 figure of $23,576.
