Central Texas's Furry Convention
Our mission is to create a fun, educational, and supportive experience for our community, both furry and non-furry, and to build a strong furry community in Central Texas while meeting our primary purpose.
Our Story
Alamo City Furry Invasion started as a concept in 2015 by a small group of furries in the San Antonio area. A variety of convention types and venues were discussed and finally settled on a 3-Day All-Ages event to be held at the El Tropicano which was on the banks of the Riverwalk.
Expected turnout for this event was not expected to be more than 150-200 people. Well when the dust settled and the curtains went up for ACFI 2017 we had 737 people registered. With everything all of the “Big Cons” had including Dealers Den, a Ballroom to house night raves, a gaming room and even a full registration team.
After 2 years at The El Tropicano, the hotel was purchased and scheduled for renovation. Over the next several years attendance grew and we changed venues multiple times. Each time we moved we were able to upgrade.
Post Pandemic Lock Down we were able to settle in a hotel that was brand new and offered a 3 year contract. This is our current hotel, San Antonio Marriott Airport, located in North San Antonio Texas. We are in our final year for this venue as we have, once again, outgrown the space they are offering.
In 2025, ACFI moved to the Embassy Suites & Convention Center in San Marcos, Texas. This move allowed ACFI to go from 14,000 sqft to 42,000 sqft. We increased every area of the convention and even added rooms like a Quiet Room, Escape Room and more. For 2025 we also upgraded the AV Team to enhance the raves to a level never seen before at ACFI.
As always, our AMAZING staff and the Board of Directors are always looking for ways to enhance YOUR Furry Convention Experience.
