About These Stats

The furry convention scene has exploded in popularity over the last decade. What started as small gatherings of enthusiasts has grown into massive international events hosting thousands of attendees. This leaderboard tracks the confirmed attendance figures for conventions worldwide, providing a snapshot of the fandom's growth.

We update this list regularly as conventions release their official numbers. The rankings above reflect the most recent verified data available for each event's latest edition.

Key Insights and Trends

  • Different Formats, Different Scale: Raw attendance leaders can include both online and in-person conventions, so this table is best used as a size snapshot rather than a single-format ranking.
  • Global Reach: While the US hosts many of the largest events, conventions like Eurofurence (Germany) and Furnal Equinox (Canada) prove that the fandom is a truly global phenomenon with thriving European and Canadian communities.
  • Post-Pandemic Boom: Since returning to in-person events in 2022 and 2023, nearly every major convention has reported record-breaking attendance, signaling a golden age for furry events.

Methodology

Data is aggregated from official convention websites, social media announcements, and community-maintained records. "TBA" indicates that the convention has not yet released official numbers for their upcoming or most recent event. We strive for 100% accuracy, but if you notice a discrepancy, please contact us.
