The first event to occur under the MicroCon name occurred on 11 April 2015 in Anaheim, California. It was organized and hosted by the Republic of Molossia and was attended by representatives from 17 different micronations. During the event, [[Grand Duke Travis]] gave a presentation about the importance of micronations having worthy causes. There were also two days of pre-events leading up to the actual convention: a day-trip to Disneyland and a walking tour of Hollywood Boulevard. This event set the standard for future MicroCons. | The first event to occur under the MicroCon name occurred on 11 April 2015 in Anaheim, California.
