BronyCon is an annual fan convention held on the east coast of the United States for fans of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, among them adult and teenage fans of the show, who call themselves bronies. Eight events have occurred to date, with the most recent one in July 2016 drawing in 7,609 attendees. On October 20, 2014, BronyCon chairman Josh Dean had announced plans for the convention all the way through 2025.
BronyCon was previously styled as BroNYCon, as its first three conventions were held in New York City. It dropped the 'NYC' capitalization for its fourth event, which was held in nearby Secaucus, New Jersey. The 2013 event marked the convention's move to Baltimore, Maryland, as well as a shift from a twice-annual event to a once-annual convention. A 501(c)(3) non-profit entity, Lunar Solis Corp., has since been created to operate the convention and manage its charity efforts. Upon news of BronyCon's departure from the NYC area, a number of retired BronyCon staffers (including its original creator) created a new, separate convention ("Big Apple Ponycon", later renamed to simply "Ponycon") to serve the NYC metro area. The two conventions are not related.
