History:
Wildercon 03 -

Wildercon 04 -
Second event, much bigger and much more organised. Inclusion of Yaz as comittee member to scare people. Hardcore.

The term "Wildercon" was first used/invented by Scout Leader Ryan Gillies, as a combination of the words "Wilderness" and "Convention", to describe his dream of a camp-out festival/weekend summer camp for young people celebrating modern Japanse culture (and other related collectibles and memorabilia). It was later legally registered as a Trademark under the name of Ryan Gillies' close friend, Yaz Jung due to internal re-structuring of it's founding committee. The convention consistently drew people in the hundreds in 2003 and 2004, following which, it's creators and owners Ryan & Yaz placed the convention on hiatus.
