Newarkon

(Did you mean the Newark Convention of 1937?)

Newarkon was first, a name for a proposed 1941 convention that never happened, "Newarkon" was later sometimes used as a series name for the FPWESFC and subsequent Open ESFA series in Newark, NJ.

From Fancyclopedia 1, ca. 1944

From Conference – This Newark Conference was intended as something for Easterners to attend who couldn't go to the Denvention in 1941. Fandom generally refused to support the idea because it was believed that it would conflict with the Denvention, and Sykora and Moskowitz laid the responsibility for the idea to Taurasi, who wasn't at the Philadelphia meeting. The Newarkon did not take place.
