Furry Weekend Atlanta

History

Furry Weekend Atlanta started as an outgrowth of a local furry meetups held for years in Atlanta at the homes of various members of the furry fandom. As the gatherings became larger, the idea of holding a full-fledged convention was raised; first in 2001 when nothing became of it, and then again in 2003. As the result of several planning sessions held in August 2003, a concrete plan emerged to hold a convention in February 2004. The name Furry Weekend Atlanta was chosen to echo the name of the anime convention held in the city, Anime Weekend Atlanta. The name became a federally registered trademark on 2 December 2008. Originally was held around Valentine's Day, the convention was rescheduled to be held mid-March in the year 2009.
