I really love where this is going. As I’ve gotten older I’ve been way more upfront about my fetish to other men. I do think people have such niche interests even within this fetish that it may be nice to break it up like that. Or have zoom calls that highlight a certain part of our fetish and people can jump on and off as they please. It would be so nice to see the people behind the keyboard because I bet you are all amazing people! Hope something happens with this!

Phantom is going to haunt me and kill me when he realizes our secret DM conversation resonated with so many in our “tribe”.

Does anyone know how the furry community developed to the point where they have conventions? I don’t personally know, but seems like their interests and background could shed (pun intended) some light on how the belching fetish community could prosper in a similar manner.

You are definitely right. After all, Ruttosound was an offshoot of an annual beer festival.
What is ruttosound?

It’s an annual burping contest in Italy. There are different rounds. In one round they burp as loud as they can in front of a decibel meter. They do the longest continuous burp they can. They burp talk long phrases. Finally, they do freestyle burping utilizing video, music, skits, and get judged on creativity. It’s hard to imagine so many skilled belch pros in one place.
This sounds like an incredible idea, I’m in the Midwest and it feels like every friends that has the same fetish online is somewhere so far away. Plus I also really don’t know how big the community is but it would be incredible to see everyone in one place for a convention!
I’ve not been to a furry convention but even those seem fun just cause it feels so casual when they are all together. The closest I’ve come to something like that was when I went to a Gromm Off if anyone is familiar with that. It was just a bunch of gainers gathering at someone’s apartment rooftop and it was such a lovely time
I don’t know if I have a great skill set to help make this happen but if help is ever needed please let me know!! 
Ex-furry here! Don’t know the specifics, but the fandom emerged as an offshoot of the sci-fi fandom in the '80s and '90s, which may have already been holding its own conventions at the time, I am not sure. I imagine furries started with small, informal meetups, actual conventions likely didn’t occur until the very late '90s/early 2000s.
If there were ever a gathering for those with the fetish, I’d highly recommend starting with small meets rather than a fully-fledged convention. They’re much easier to manage and are great for connection. For example, fur-meets still happen all the time, typically on a monthly basis, and they help keep the community in touch throughout the year since most cons only happen annually.
Fur-meets have no sexual basis and happen in public spaces (parks, bowling alleys, etc.), sexual/fetish-related events would obviously not fly in those venues. Imo, it’d be most realistic to approach LGBTQ+/queer-run clubs and ask about hosting a fetish-specific event. Those environments aim to be safe spaces for those of different sexualities and would likely be open to it. (Considering that many of them already host mature events anyway, I’d imagine they wouldn’t have much of a problem with people burping for a night, haha.)
Just wanted to add that the anal prolapse fetishists have a convention… the anal prolapse people. If a group that niche can do it, so can we, lol. Someone just needs to research how other fetish communities have done it and commit to making it happen. This is a really interesting topic though, and I’m happy to answer questions, of course

It would be cool to start off with a zoom or some type of chat with guest belchers and some discussion.

I’d be into something like that.
I like the security of having the convention in a virtual environment with boundaries.
Adding that I think having in-depth discussions and forming connections isn’t something that’s necessarily stifled by content sharing; I actually think it’s the opposite.
The truth is, one of the reasons why so many people here have the leisure to engage in the more “intellectual” posts is because they’re two clicks away from where the actual content is being posted.

The secret is to make sure there are several clicks between intellectual discussion, forming platonic friendships with other with the fetish, and fapping to the shared content. I have made the mistake of not respecting these boundaries in the past myself, when my horny mind took over. Establishing rules helps keep our interactions safe, concentual, and meaningful. At the same time, everyone must realize that hearing a burp will cause people to be sexually aroused.
it has been done
That’s a good point. I also definitely wouldn’t recommend open attendance for an event of this sort, btw. Going back to the prolapsers, they vet every single person who goes and admission is not open to the general public. They keep things quite tightly sealed and you have to go through the organizers first, as far as I’m aware. A similar model could help with privacy concerns.

it’s good to see this coming back into the conversation, i think that (unfortunately for some of us) the safety and anonymity of the attendees starts with the very opposite — a core team of organizers need to be vulnerable enough to disclose their identities and connect across shared values. like, i can’t imagine this going anywhere without at least a few of us being willing to show face, get on phone calls, pool resources, work directly with guest panelists and make reservations, etc.
i think as the idea builds out, we can start stacking up safety measures on top of each other. but i think it’s worth pointing out that the early stages will be super grassroots.
does anyone think it would be worth forming a group chat of this thread’s most popular commenters, leaving it open for a few weeks to see who joins, and then convening to start planning?
i’ll also admit for the record that even i myself don’t know yet whether i’d be able to disclose. i have a rather public job and i’m super uninterested in the energy and money that goes into living a double life lol
