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 six-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.
