Imagine being part of a one-of-a-kind cat celebration.

"You don't have to choose between fandom or cats. At PurrCon, you get both โ€” gently woven together in one easy, inviting weekend."

PurrCon happens inside PopCon Indianapolis โ€” one of the Midwest's biggest pop culture conventions. For three days, you're invited into a cat-centered space designed for connection, creativity, laughter, and those quiet moments that make being a cat person feel really good.

You're free to move between worlds โ€” celebrity panels to kitten cuddles, fandom energy to cozy connection โ€” all in one place.

Give your attendees a moment
they'll actually remember.

Warm, fun, and impossible to scroll past. The PurrCon Pop Up turns your event floor into the place people talk about after they go home.

What's the Purr Effect?

"The moment a room full of strangers stops performing 'networking' and starts feeling something real."

It's what happens when you put something warm, alive, and completely unimpressed by anyone's job title in the middle of your event. Guards drop. Phones go down. People laugh โ€” the real kind, not the conference kind. And it's the thing your attendees will still be telling people about next week.

๐Ÿ”ฌ The science behind the feeling

Just a few minutes of contact with a friendly animal measurably lowers cortisol (the stress hormone) and raises oxytocin (the bonding hormone) โ€” the same shift researchers see in animal-assisted therapy settings. Scale that to a room full of strangers, and people stop scrolling, start talking, and remember your brand was the reason they felt human again that day.
