Capital FurCon, an upcoming furry convention on the outskirts of Washington, D.C., moved its dates up a weekend due to coinciding with a conservative and Christian broadcaster conference at the same venue, the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, Flayrah has learned.
Originally scheduled for February 25–28, 2027, the convention made an announcement earlier this month that it would be moved to February 18–21, one week earlier. The note, made on July 2nd, stated that it was “Due to an error made by our hotel partner”. “This change became necessary due to the Gaylord’s sales team inadvertently double-booking our event space,” it read.
The rooms that the furry convention had contracted were not rented out to another event at the same time in a booking mishap, but rather the Gaylord is to be the venue for the National Religious Broadcasters’ 2027 International Christian Media Convention. Though occupying a different area, it partially overlapped with Capital FurCon’s original dates. The ICMC is scheduled for the last Tuesday through Friday in February; Capital FurCon had the last Thursday through Sunday.
Last week, the convention made a blog post alluding to this. The “original dates overlapped with an event that was not ideal for both events and our event’s attendees.” This was attributed to “a mistake on the Hotel’s side.” The event? ICMC 2027, McChaffee, the convention chair, confirmed to Flayrah.
