A look at the Anthro Fandom Convention Information Sheet shows that attendance at Confurence fell only slightly last year: from 704 and 705 the two previous years to 675. Interestingly enough, that decrease puts Confurence into the #4 slot (down from #3) as largest furry convention of 2002 (disclaimer--I'm chairman of Midwest FurFest).
That attendance number is a dramatic fall from 1999 and earlier, when attendance at CF would often exceed 1000 people. Back then, there were fewer furry conventions competing for a somewhat limited convention-going attendance than there are now.
