The main gathering of MicroCon occurred on Saturday, 11 April 2015 at the Anaheim Central Library in Anaheim, California from 10:30am until 2:30pm. | |||
The delegates of the attending nations were invited to set up small displays showcasing items of interest from their countries. The table displays ringed the perimeter of the room in which the conference was held and each display was approximately three feet square. | |||
After initial opening remarks from the MicroCon founder and organizer, [[President Kevin Baugh]], the conference presentations began with a keynote address via YouTube by Mr. [[Steven Scharff]], noted micronational patriologist, speaking about micronational history and concepts. | |||
Presenters used slides and video to highlight their presentations, and various unique perspectives were shared with the audience. One of the significant moments of the event was a medieval warfare demonstration by the Knights of [[Kingdom of Shiloh|Shiloh]], when the fully armored knights began battling in the midst of the convention. | |||
There were three breaks, including a longer lunch break, during which the delegates socialized and networked. The media was also in attendance, including an affiliate of the Today Show as well as noted micronational photographer [[Matt Roth]]. After four hours, the conference adjourned and the delegates departed, some to their home nations, and others to prepare for the evening's event, the MicronCon Cotillion. | |||
