MicroCon 2022 was a micronational event that occurred from August 4 - 7, 2022 at Sam's Town Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was the fourth conference to be held under the MicroCon banner. The event had initially been planned for Summer of 2021, but was delayed due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. It was hosted Westarctica and was a major event in the history of foreign relations of Westarctica.

On 4 August 2022, the MicroCon festivities officially began with a welcome party hosted at the private residence of Grand Duke Travis and Prince-Consort Dinny. Attendees were invited for a three hour get together in a casual setting. Approximately 50 guests enjoyed food and drinks provided by the royal couple while socializing in the house or lounging beside the swimming pool. The main conference occurred on Saturday, 6 August at Sam's Town Hotel and Casino. Approximately 100 delegates and 10 members of the press were in attendance to learn from their fellow micronationalists during a series of 16 presentations covering every possible topic from art to politics. Originally, only 14 presentations were scheduled, but one nation dropped out and three others were added to fill the open space.
