(Did you mean Philadelphia Worldcons Philcon, Philcon II or Millennium Philcon?)
A regional convention sponsored by PSFS in the Philadelphia area since 1936. It was known as the PhilCo in the 40s and as Phillycon in the 50s -- it is unclear just when Philcon caught on as the name of the gathering.
Note this is not related to the comic convention Phillycon which started in 2016.
The history of Philcon is unusually vague -- Harry Warner, for instance, mentions that he was unable to find out much for his histories of the 50s and 60s. This may be why Philcon does not label its conventions by number, but instead uses years.
