The conference began the following day at the Tucker Reid H. Cofer Library, in Tucker, Georgia. From 10:30 am to 4:00 pm, delegates from 26 micronations gathered to share their ideas, dreams, and worlds with each other. Throughout the day, presentations were given on a wide variety of micronational topics, ranging from micronational citizenship, sustainment, territorial versus non-territorial state models, micronational currency and postage, micronation constitutions and history, the mental state of the iconic Emperor Norton (as well as our own mental states) and even the danger of squirrels. | The conference began the following day at the Tucker Reid H.

Breaks were taken, including lunch, to allow time for networking and socializing - and of course many photo-ops in front of each nation's information displays. The media was also in attendance, including Vice Television, a delegation from the [[Republic of Saugeais]] and stalwart micronational photographer [[Matt Roth]]. After five and a half hours, the conference adjourned and the delegates departed to prepare for the evening's event, the MicroCon Gala. | Breaks were taken, including lunch, to allow time for networking and socializing - and of course many photo-ops in front of each nation's information displays.
