That is correct: UNICON is shorthand for UNIcycle CONvention. UNICON is
the world championships and convention event sanctioned by the
International Unicycling Federation, Incorporated, a not for profit
group dedicated to promoting unicycling as a sport. A UNICON is held
every two years. Local organizing committees organize and run the
UNICON events with help from IUF officers and volunteers from
throughout the world. It is similar to how the Olympic movement works,
but on a much smaller (and, as in the Olympics of old, completely
amateur) scale.
UNICON XIII is being held right now in Langenthal, Switzerland. UNICON
XIV is scheduled to be held July 26 through August 4, 2008 in
Copenhagen, Denmark. UNICON XV is currently being planned for Darwin,
Australia in 2010.
