Ibercon is a furry convention for the Iberian Peninsula's furry community, drawing attendees from both Spain and Portugal. It ran its first two editions in central Madrid and moves to Aranjuez, south of the capital, for 2027. Programming runs in Spanish, English, and Portuguese, and the event uses a tiered registration model with Bronze, Silver, and Gold badge levels.
Ibercon 2027 runs June 17-20, 2027 under the theme "Summerween", a summer holiday that turns spooky. The convention moves from early May to mid-June and from central Madrid to the Occidental Aranjuez. Ibercon has reserved the whole hotel, so only Ibercon attendees can stay there, and late-night programming will not disturb other guests. The organizers say the move answers feedback from 2026 about the limits of central Madrid hotels. The new dates mean the hotel pool is open to all attendees, and every event room has windows onto the terrace or pool area. Ticket prices stay the same as in 2026, and the 2027 edition adds a first Night Market for adult art and merch alongside the Dealers' Den.
Ibercon features the convention mascots Adri (the Iberian Wolf) and Bobi (the Portuguese Podengo), and offers a tiered registration model with Bronze, Silver, and Gold badges. If you want premium perks alongside your access to the Fursuit Parade, raves, and charity events, book early.

From attendees
Fly into Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD), one of Europe's busiest hubs with connections worldwide. Aranjuez is about 45 km south of Madrid, and the organizers point to the Cercanías commuter rail, bus services and the road network as the main ways in. Cercanías line C-3 runs from Madrid's Atocha station to Aranjuez. The organizers plan to publish a detailed travel guide before the event.
Curated stays near Occidental Aranjuez, Aranjuez, Spain.
The convention is held at the Occidental Aranjuez, which has reserved all of its rooms for Ibercon 2027 attendees. The organizers say rooms at the main hotel will be considerably cheaper than in 2026, with final rates and booking details due in the coming months. The hotel is fully air-conditioned, which matters for fursuiters in a Spanish June.
A year-by-year record of this convention
Open an edition to see the details that belong to that year.
Ibercon 2026 ran April 30-May 3 at Novotel Madrid Center with a Y2K Nostalgia theme and guests of honor Max Fluffy, RygelSPKB, and Haps. In January 2026, four months out, the organizers said on Bluesky that more than 500 registrations were already confirmed, and they posted a recap video after the weekend. That January figure is a registration count, not a headcount: Ibercon has published no final attendance total for the edition.
Ibercon's inaugural edition ran May 1-4, 2025, at the Rafael Hoteles Atocha in Madrid. It was the first furry convention in Spain since Furrnion ceased operations in 2019, filling a two-year gap in the Iberian furry scene. The event was a joint project between the Asociacion para la Cultura Furry Espanola and the Portuguese Associacao Eufurria, making it the first pan-Iberian furry convention. Programming was offered in Spanish, English, and Portuguese.

3 quirks & policies that don't fit the highlights grid.
Entire -1 floor of the largest Novotel in the world
Ibercon 2026 took over the entire -1 convention floor of the Novotel Madrid Center, billed as the largest Novotel in the world by room count (790 keys, including 6 suites and 16 accessible rooms). The convention ran across ten named, soundproofed halls plus the central lobby, all on one floor: Madrid Hall is the main stage with full LED screens and PA; Lisboa Hall houses the Dealers Den; Oporto Hall is an enlarged Fursuit Lounge with two side rooms, central lobby, exclusive restrooms, fans, private changing areas, a fridge and freezer, plus snacks and drinks; Barcelona Hall splits between board games and a designated quiet zone; Granada Hall is ConOps and the info desk; Alicante Hall is the divisible activities space. Capacity is rated at 1,000+, roughly double the 2025 inaugural edition, and the whole footprint sits below ground in a single contiguous floor. The 2027 edition leaves this hotel for the Occidental Aranjuez, which Ibercon has reserved in full.
Application-gated registration with capped Silver and Gold tiers
Ibercon does not sell tickets on a first-come or open-checkout basis. Attendees must first create an account on entrada.ibercon.org (with a mandatory 18+ age check), then submit a reservation form selecting a tier, Early Bronze, Early Silver, Early Gold, then standard Bronze, Silver, or Gold once the early-bird window closes. The Ibercon team reviews each request manually, typically within 2-3 days. If accepted, the attendee receives an emailed payment link that is valid for 14 days; missing the window forfeits the slot. The Silver and Gold tiers are both explicitly capped, verbatim from the FAQ, "Silver and Gold tiers are both limited in number, so [upgrade] is not possible if no further tickets of the higher tier are available." One-day passes only release after the four-day tiers sell out, and availability is never guaranteed.
Every badge bundles 4 bar drinks + a stacked partner-discount block
In 2026, every Bronze, Silver, and Gold ticket included 4 complimentary bar drinks courtesy of Ibercon, an unusual universal-tier perk for an 18+ European con (most cons reserve open-bar mechanics for top-tier sponsors). Badge-bearing attendees also stacked a 20% Novotel room discount, 10% off Iberia flights, and 10-25% off at five nearby restaurants (Parador del Jamón, Urban Poke O'Donnell, Burgerjazz with code IBERCON25, Con Sazón O'Donnell, Hot Perrote). The discount block ran across travel, lodging, and food rather than the usual hotel-only deal furry cons negotiate.
