Starting in 2019, the future location of each convention branded under the MicroCon banner will be determined by the MicroCon Committee. The committee is a loose group of nations which have previously hosted MicroCon and provide gentle guidance to hosts of future events. Prospective hosts are asked to submit a proposal for hosting an event. These proposals are then vetted by the committee to ensure each convention is of increasingly superior quality. | |||
