Mount Laurel, New Jersey - May 2nd through 4th
Furgeddaboutit 2025:
Controlled Burn
Frequently Asked Questions
Wow! This is on short notice. Sorry that this isn’t phrased in the form of a question.
We realized there was a real lack of high-quality, well-run, safe, and accepting furry conventions in the New Jersey area between the dates of May 2nd and May 4th, 2025. At least, if there are any, we haven’t heard about them. We set out to fix that. It sure is short notice, but we think that what we're cooking up will be worth making plans for - or changing your existing plans ;)
We have since found out that our friend PawSouls is running a meet this weekend as well, and encourage you to consider attending it!
Who is running the event?
Currently, Furgeddaboutit is run by a board of organizers from groups all across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. This includes Furrydelphia, The Furst State, Pinefurs, Anthro Outdoor Adventures, and Furgen County. Partly because this is short notice, and partly because we want this to truly be a community-led event, we don’t have a named convention chair for 2025. The board is working together as a team to put together the most fun event possible as fast as possible.
Funding to launch the event has been generously provided by Furrydelphia.
This website is pretty short on details, how do I know you’re legit?
If you’ve been to an event in the tri-state area, you’ve likely been to one of our events. Our team is made up of some of the most experienced convention staff in the area, with combined decades of knowledge of how to run events big and small.
We’ll continue to expand the website as the event approaches. If you have any questions in the immediate term, you can email us.
Where is it?
The convention will take place at the beautiful DoubleTree Suites in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey. It has a fabulous on-site restaurant and bar, a beautiful indoor pool, and ample green space completely surrounded by the hotel with gorgeous landscaping ideal for fursuit photos and long, contemplative walks.
What will registration cost?
Basic registration will likely be around $65, with many people qualifying for discounts based on certain criteria that we’ll announce shortly. We are aiming to keep this event as affordable as possible.
We will likely have a sponsor level available, but it will only be available during pre-registration.
Registration should open in the new year.
What about hotel rooms?
We’re working out final details but rooms should be available from $150-170 a night. Rooms should open for booking in the new year.
What will this event be like? What will happen at it?
We're gonna be honest - this is going to be a weird con. But we like weird. Our goal is to create the single most fun weekend-long party the New Jersey furry community has ever seen, to bring together the best and most creative minds in the community, and to create some seriously good memories. Expect performances, vendors, and all sorts of surprises and fun activities.
Can I help?
Please. Yes.
We’ll have more information on how you can help in the future, but we’d love it if you did.
Are there plans to run the event in the future?
If it’s successful, then absolutely!
Furrydelphia will take back enough money from registration and other fees to recover its investment, then set aside every last cent beyond that point for future Furgeddaboutit events. After the event takes place, the organizers will transparently work to put in place a more formal board structure, elect a proper New Jersey-based convention chair, and set the event up for future success. New Jersey deserves a safe, inclusive, well-run furry convention, and we’re doing our best to make that a reality.
Our goal is to run a transparent, positive, safe convention that reflects the true spirit of the garden state furry community.
