In Minions, what is the Orlando convention for villains called?

The story behind the answer

The Orlando convention for villains in Minions is called Villain-Con. The event is advertised as a gathering for villains, and it gives Kevin, Stuart, and Bob the opportunity to search for a new boss after their isolated Minion community loses its purpose.

The convention takes place in 1968, when the three Minions travel to New York and discover a hidden television advertisement for the event. They hitch a ride with the thieving Nelson family and arrive at Villain-Con, where they meet Scarlet Overkill, a celebrated supervillain who recruits them.

Villain-Con is a playful parody of large fan conventions and trade shows, but its name is also used beyond the film. Universal later developed Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast, an interactive theme-park attraction. The fictional convention should not be confused with the Vicious 6, a separate villain group from Minions: The Rise of Gru.
