Please do not call it "the" Wikimedia conference. It may be many things, but it's not that. "Wikimedia Affiliates Conference" will do fine.
Risker/Anne
I think that the misunderstanding is here.
This is not "the" Wikimedia Conference, this is one of several wikimedia/wikipedia conference.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiCon (it's a limited example).
I think that the idea that this is "the" wikimedia conference is in the head of someone.
Calling it wikicon, or wikiconference, or wikimedia conference change a little bit.
No one can have another Wikimania, but all people can have their own Wikimedia Conference/Wikicon/Wikiconference.
So the change of the name in "Wikimedia Affiliations conference" is an imposition of few people to use a name that belongs to no one, neither to affiliated members nor to individual wiki(p/m)edians.
