Furvana

Furvana is a spectacularly unique "destination convention" that completely reinvents the typical hotel format! Located in the incredibly scenic coastal town of Ocean Shores, Washington, this beautiful gathering brilliantly merges the traditional convention experience with an actual beach vacation.

Coastal Synergy

Taking place right at the massive Ocean Shores Convention Center, the upcoming September 4-6, 2026 iteration is returning to its unbelievable "On the High Seas!" theme.

The nautical theme isn't just a marketing name—it's directly reflected in the local environment! The convention creates a fantastically porous boundary with the public beach, allowing attendees to walk straight out of panels and into the Pacific Ocean breeze. They even deeply integrate "Beach Safety" right into their core panel programming, creating an immersive, coastal experience that goes miles beyond standard hotel decorations.

Diverse Governance

Drawing well over 1,200 attendees, Furvana explicitly positions inclusivity as its highest priority. Beautifully managed by Furvana LLP, the event fiercely welcomes and protects under-represented communities, representing a vital core value for the entire Pacific Northwest fandom. They also drive massive charity work, recently raising over $16,500 for SeaLife Response + Rehab + Research.
