UCCONX: what happened?
Less than 24 hours after an internet publication denounced the organization of UCCONX (Universal Creators Conference Experience) as a toxic work environment that denied labor rights to several employees (salaries, vacations) in 2021.

Negative reactions and memes about the festival went viral. BBL, currently responsible for the brand, said that it only acquired it in February 2022, a period after the alleged violations, and that it is therefore not related to UCCONX events. The fpop culture, nerd and gamer summer had launched itself as “the biggest” in this niche, but a large part of the public disagreed when they saw the event empty.
Last-minute cancellations of attractions such as actress Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things) and Gerge Takei (Stark Trek) kicked off the flop, according to who bought (Land) or thought about buying a ticket.
Throughout Thursday, in addition to the memes, records of who was at the event increased outrage from the geek community and Twitter users. Look more details about the exposed here (I have more Records than Friends).
