Futerkon's roots go back to Futrzakon, Poland's first furry convention, which launched September 26-28, 2008 in Dzierżążna with 37 attendees. After four editions, a new organizing team rebranded the convention to Futerkon in 2012 and rebuilt it around immersive year-long themes. Growth has been steady: roughly 100 attendees by the seventh edition, 180 at the first Hotel Ameliówka edition in 2020, 230+ in 2022, and a peak around 288 in 2024.

Edition cancelled
Not enough people had paid for a place. The hotel contract required 250 paid accreditations by 7 May 2026 and the organisers cancelled the next day, announcing a refund form and a 14-day refund window running from the day each attendee returns it.
Recorded headline rate for this edition.
The cancelled edition was to run 29 July to 2 August 2026 at CKS OSSA in Ossa on a police-academy theme, adding the convention's first Dealers' Den and booking Essex and WHSPRS as musical guests. It was cancelled on 8 May 2026. The organisers had published the condition in advance: 250 paid accreditations were needed by 7 May to honour the hotel contract, the threshold was missed, and the organisers announced a refund form, with refunds due 14 days after each attendee returns it; they did not publish a completion notice, so this page does not claim the refunds finished. The edition never took place, so it has no attendance figure and no charity total. As of September 2026 nothing has been announced about a 2027 edition.
Futerkon 2025 ran August 6-10, 2025 at Hotel Ameliówka in Mąchocice Kapitulne near Kielce, with the Duchy Japonii (Ghosts of Japan) theme weaving Japanese yōkai narrative through the convention's storyline programming.

3 quirks & policies that don't fit the highlights grid.
Public 250-attendee threshold triggered the 2026 cancellation
Futerkon 2026 was cancelled on 8 May 2026 under a transparent, pre-published mechanism rare among furry cons. On 28 April organisers posted "Ważna informacja!" disclosing that 250 paid akredytacji were needed by 7 May to honor the CKS OSSA hotel contract. The threshold was missed, the edition was cancelled the next day, and a refund form was announced for the addresses given at registration, with refunds due 14 days after each form comes back. Most cons cancel with vague PR; Futerkon documented the exact number, the deadline, and the refund window upfront.
Akredytacja Plus let you password-lock an entire hotel room
The 2026 Akredytacja Plus tier (700 PLN, available only 22 Mar - 3 Apr) let attendees set a password on a full hotel room until 12 April, blocking strangers from being assigned to it. After that window the room reverted to standard shared assignment. A bookable privacy lock with a narrow purchase window and a hard expiry is structurally unusual; peer cons either guarantee single rooms outright or share rooms blind.
No attending-only tier: lodging bundle was mandatory
The 2026 registration ladder had no day pass and no attending-only option, "uczestnictwo bez zakwaterowania nie jest możliwe". Every attendee bought a bundled four-night package: 2/3-person room at 1799 PLN per person or single at 2399 PLN, all-inclusive buffet plus wellness/SPA access, on top of the 400 PLN reservation fee and any sponsor add-on. Minimum total around 2199 PLN (~€517). The forced-residential model is what made the 250-attendee hotel-contract threshold so unforgiving.
