Hascon is a better wordplay for Hasbro Convention in combining the two words, and has a better marketing for memes with "I can has con." Like the Has cheeseburgers ones from before, or many others.

From a marketing perspective and more inclusive atmosphere they want of the convention with family oriented draws, "HasCon" is the better title to go with.

Hascon means hazardous contamination. That's not super family friendly. And the bro in hasbro is for brothers, what says family more than brothers?
