What's Eufuria?
Eufuria is a furry convention experience in Upstate New York.One of the largest furry conventions in the world, Anthrocon, originated right here in Albany. However, Upstate New York had been without a furry convention for many years. In 2023, we aimed to bring a furcon back to the long-underserved Capital Region. Our inaugural event was met with a fervent response from the local furry community, inspiring us to move onwards and upwards and establish Eufuria as an annual convention.
What is a Furry?
A furry is someone who enjoys the concept of animals that think and act like people, and wants to be called a furry. The furry community was birthed out of the sci-fi convention scenes of the 1980s, and with the help of the internet, began rapidly growing into a global phenomenon. If you're familiar with other geeky/nerdy subcultures, like anime, comics, gaming, and LARP, you'll easily recognize strong similarities in furry. The main difference is that our characters are animals instead of humans (or superheroes, or wizards, or zombies...)Creativity and self-expression are pillars of the furry community. Other fandoms center around media properties such as books, movies, or TV shows that someone else created. Many furries make up their own characters, and it's often said that we are fans of each other! Art, writing, music, storytelling, role-play, costuming, social networking, and conventions are some of the myriad ways furries participate in our shared hobby. You'll get to see all of those represented at Eufuria.
Who Are We?
Eufuria is organized by the Society for Capital Region Events and Entertainment (SCREE), a 501(c)7 not-for-profit corporation. We're a passionate crew of people, dedicated to putting on events to bring furries in our community (and their supporters) together. Come visit Eufuria and see what we're all about!

COVID-19 and Public Health Policy
Revised as of 01/26/2025This policy is able to be changed up to the day of the convention and will be announced through social media channels and registrant emails if necessary. We will endeavor to finalize this policy no later than two months before a given event.
Masks
All attendees, volunteers, staff, fursuiters, and vendors must wear a face mask at all times while inside Eufuria space. You may temporarily remove your mask to eat or drink in the designated eating area or for health and safety purposes, such as administering medication. Your mask must fit securely on the head and cover the mouth and nose.Appropriate masks to use include:
N95 and KN95 respirators
Medical masks (procedure or surgical masks)
Non-medical masks meeting the above requirements
This does not include:
Balaclavas except under a fursuit
Single-layered cloth masks
Masks with an exhalation valve or vent
Articles of clothing, including shirts and scarves
The only exceptions for wearing masks are for dance performers or wind instrument performers during approved main stage performances only such as Capital Clash or a band performance. This does not include the evening dances. Masks must be replaced when performances are completed.Any attendee who does not wear a compliant face mask covering the mouth and nose will not be granted access to Eufuria spaces. Any attendee unable to follow the face mask policies as delineated will not be granted entry to the event until such time as they are able to do so. Any attendee that is found to be noncompliant with the mask policy, despite verbal reminders and/or warnings, will have their SCREE, Inc. membership revoked without refund and be removed and/or banned from the convention.
Vaccines
We strongly recommend up-to-date vaccination against influenza and COVID-19. However, vaccination is less available to the general public worldwide than it has been in the past. Vaccines may not be available to those not considered to be in a specific risk group as of early 2025 in some areas. Several government apps and databases may no longer be easily acceptable for providing proof of vaccination. Requiring vaccines would put a financial burden on many uninsured attendees.Proof of vaccination is not required for 2025 registration. Members who can present proof of 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccination and/or influenza vaccination will receive an exclusive gift and be entered into a sweepstakes, for a maximum of 2 entries.
Further Policies
Please stay home if you are experiencing symptoms of infectious illnesses. Attendees who cannot attend due to illness can contact SCREE staff at registration@eufuria.org to have their registration rolled forward to a future event. We encourage frequent hand washing to limit the spread of illness. We will have numerous handwashing stations present in our venue.

We advise booking a room at our partner hotel to guarantee a private space to change. Multiple gender neutral restrooms are available on both levels of the Albany Capital Center. Fursuiters may not disrobe in the headless zone, as this is a shared space.
Please apply to our vendor hall if you're thinking about engaging in any sort of commerce, including selling art or items at Eufuria. You may give gifts and do trades, such as during a sketchbook swap or trading panel, but for legal reasons, you cannot take money in exchange for goods and/or services unless you're registered as one of our vendors. Anyone found to be doing so will have their registration revoked and be asked to leave con space immediately.
Yes! The Albany Capital Center is fully ADA compliant.

Capital Clash
Welcome to Capital Clash, Eufuria’s 2025 dance cypher and battle event! This page will guide you through all you need to know about this year’s rules and regulations.For news and updates, follow Capital Clash's Telegram announcement channel!
What is a Dance Cypher?
A dance cypher is a ring of dancers who take turns stepping in to show off their skills, try new moves, learn from each other, or even battle. At this event, we will be taking turns based on the dancers’ numbers. If we have extra time at the end, dancers will have a chance to freestyle independently. When jumping in please be cognizant of the other dancers and don’t hog the center.
How to Sign Up
Show up at the Main Event’s Ballroom at (time slot) to join the cypher! We can accommodate up to 30 dancers, so please arrive on time. A volunteer will be on stage waiting to give you a number to participate. Once the cypher has started, each dancer will have a moment to show off their dancing skills when their number is called. If your moves are groovy enough for our secret judges, you will be chosen for the battle bracket.
Rules and Expectations
Fursuiters and non-suiters are equally allowed to participate
The edge of the cypher is for dancers who have already gotten a number. If you do not plan on dancing during the cypher or weren't able to get a number; fall back from the edge and take a seat in the audience
When you plan to jump into the cypher, after everyone has gone in number order, check to make sure nobody else is on their way to the center and that the previous dancer has left the ring
Your time in the circle is limited. You can say as long as you would like, but be courteous to others, and go with the flow
Due to the 18+ nature of the convention, we will allow slightly more suggestive dancing styles and gestures. We will not allow overtly vulgar, sexual, or discriminatory acts
No touching other dancers
No props, food, or drink (except water, when off the dance floor)
The Dance Battles
The dance battles are exciting one-on-one confrontations of each dancer's skills! Dancers will be chosen by five “secret judges” in the dance cypher, for a 16 competitor bracket. Contestants of the bracket will compete up the bracket for the title of bronze, silver, and Capital Clash gold!Battles will consist of two one minute long rounds. Each dancer will have 30 seconds to dance in both rounds, each round featuring a different song. Dancers decide who goes first. If both dancers cannot decide, a bottle or a breakdancer will be spun to determine who goes first.The winner of each round will be determined by five “secret judges”. Judges will throw their hand to the side of the dancer that they believe won. Judges can also throw up an “X” to indicate a tie. If there is a tie, dancers will battle for one more round, where all judges cannot vote for a tie. Winners will be moved up the bracket.
Additional Dance Battle Rules:
Rules of the dance cypher apply to all dance battles
Return to the side you started from during the battles
