History

Damian Zannini, Cristen Thrasher and Elton Cranfil founded Kajonk-A-Con in 2006. Their mission statement or motto was shown as quoted:

"For anime viewers, console, PC, and tabletop gamers, and would-be developers/voice actors/animators, no other convention delivers an enriched level of hands-on communication with those in the industry and an unprecedented amount of entertainment throughout the weekend. Kajonk-A-Con comes from those who thought that there should be more to a convention than what is always offered."

For its first year, the con was held at the Knoxville Convention Center. It was a small event as there had not been much time for the founders and their staff to plan the event, but aside from its size, the convention was a success. However, the following year, Kajonk-A-Con was cancelled and a formal apology was posted on the site.
