In the 2015 film Minions, what is the name of the villain convention?

Villain-Con is the name of the villain convention in the 2015 film Minions.

Villain-Con is a gathering where criminals meet, display inventions, and seek opportunities. Kevin, Stuart, and Bob travel there while searching for a new evil master for the Minions. At the convention, they encounter Scarlet Overkill, who recruits them for a mission involving the British royal family.

The name is a contraction of “villain” and “convention,” matching the film’s playful approach to criminal-world language. It is not a real convention and should not be confused with a general comic-book convention. The event is one of the film’s major locations and provides the story’s turning point.

The convention is held in Orlando, Florida, in the film’s story. Scarlet’s recruitment changes the Minions’ journey from a search for a leader into an assignment under a specific villain. The event also introduces several criminal characters and inventions.
