Among the performers were Zlata, a 27-year-old Russian and Guinness World Record Holder for most bendy woman among other titles, and George the Rubber Guru, a contortionist hailing from Ghana.

The idea for the convention came from famed contortionist and mentor Ska von Schoening in 1998. The first convention was held in Dresden.
