Saboten Con gains its name by combining the Japanese name for Cactus "Saboten" and adding the word "con" for convention at the end. The cactus helps reference the convention's roots in Arizona which is home to many species of cactus. Owner Greg Fennell had some special guests for the thousands of attendees for the 3-day weekend, including J-Pop singer Miyamura, and Victoria Paege hosted the Masquerade.
