JACON (short for Japanese Animation CONvention) was a three day anime convention started by the University of Central Florida's first anime club: JACO (the Japanese Animation Club of Orlando.) The event ran for ten years with JACON 2009 being labeled as "JACON X: ENDGAME" thus noting that it was planned as the final year for the convention's run.
