:'''''NB!''' Due to [[J-Popkai]] not recording the history of J-Popcon, little is officially known about J-Popcon 2003. The information written in this article have been documented by various third-party sites reviewing the convention, such as ''[http://www.geekculture.dk geekculture.dk]''.''

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' was a convention held during the weekend from the 31st of October to 3nd of November, 2003. It was the 2nd time for [[J-Popcon]] to be held and was done so after a three-year break (the first J-Popcon was held in the year 2000).

{{PAGENAME}} was notorious for its extreme lack of public information and it was widely discussed in the community in the weeks before the convention whether or not it was even worth attending due to doubts about the presense of satisfying and "fresh" content<sup>[http://www.geekculture.dk/arkiv.php?reviewid=1830]</sup>. The general consesus after the con was however more positive; while there was definitively room for improvement, it was considered a great success.

Weekend badges for the convention went for 220DKK and the convention was open for an estimated 45 straight hours.
