New Zealand Bird of The Year

We all remember when John Oliver got involved, lots of money raised for preserving wildlife.

All we have is FurcoNZ

FurcoNZ is proud to announce we’re campaigning for the Huahou (Red Knot) for #birdoftheyear2025! Voting opens 15th Sept, in the meantime you can donate to Forest and Bird to support their conservation efforts! https://forestandbird.org.nz/support-us/app

FurCoNZ Reg Open

We’re thrilled to invite you back to Holiday Inn on November 21-23 for our FurcoNZ Hotel 2025: Time Twisters!

Medieval knights from the year 3000? Cowboys in space? This year’s theme is all about bringing together ideas that’d confuse present and future historians alike.

FurCoNZ Camp 2024 #Numbers

Official Statement

The attendance count is complete – we had 153 operatives at FurcoNZ Camp 2024!

We’d like to thank you all again for the turnout, it was awesome seeing the community come together and we can’t wait to see everyone again in six months at our first hotel con in Auckland

FurcoNZ 1st Hotel Convention

We are excited to release full details for our first ever FurcoNZ Hotel!

When: November 22-24, 2024

Where: Holiday Inn, Auckland Airport

Theme: Safari

Pricing: Starting from $150/pp + accommodation

Please note that this is an 18+ event. Rego opens in a few weeks, and remain open until September (or until sold out).

Our hotel is in a convenient location for out-of-towners, serviced by a regular shuttle from the airport. On-site parking is available for those who make the trip via land (and sea, for the South Islanders).

Rooms are bought separately to your con ticket and are organised with the hotel. You can book a room to yourself, or you can arrange a group booking of up to 4 people. A link to book your hotel room at our discounted rates will be shown once you complete registration.

Aucklanders and their friends can also choose to take advantage of non-hotel accommodation overnight – there are no restrictions on when you can check in or out of con.

Unlike FurcoNZ camp, meals are not included with your ticket. A meal package can be booked at registration, which includes lunches and dinners. A number of convenient options and supermarkets are nearby and easily accessible via public transport (or heading there on foot).

More information can be found on our website (http://furconz.org.nz). We’d recommend hitting up our telegram chat in the first instance (https://t.me/furconz), or for private enquiries, you can contact us directly via our Contact Us page (http://furconz.org.nz/contact).

Although Registration doesn’t open up for a week pricing was posted
