We are excited to welcome one and all to join us this summer in Columbus, Ohio for TrotCon 2012! TrotCon is a festival created by, for, and focusing on the fan community surrounding the hit children's cartoon My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Since its debut, the show has been a massive success with fans of all ages and has spawned a thriving fandom of talented artists, musicians, and writers.

We welcome older generation pony fans as well. There will be programming at the convention featuring stuff from all of the MLP generations.

Our current guest lineup. As we add more guests, they will be separately announced in this thread.

Pre-registration is handled via EventBrite. Badge prices are as follows:

    Before June 14: $20
    Before July 14: $25
    At the door: $30

Pre-registered badges are available with your choice of mane character. Prior to June 14, you can also order a customized badge featuring your own pony for an extra $5.

We are currently accepting artist alley table and panel submissions. These will close about a month prior to the convention.

If you have any questions regarding the convention you may contact me on here or send an email to [email protected]

Is this the first year for this?  I don't remember hearing about it before?  I might have to check this out.

It's actually close to me unlike Bronycon.  I wonder if any show staff will make appearance like BronyCon and Everfree.

Too bad its the same weekend as Breyerfest :/

I'm coming! Just need to make a few more sales so I have enough in PayPal to pay for my ticket and a table   Come on people, buy my ponies so I can go to TrotCon! 
 
I'll be bringing all sorts of goodies, including magnets, tote bags, custom white Celestia's, and my Zecora will be for sale. I'm also making more pony cat toys and working on getting planner inserts for 2013 weekly planners. If I can get off my lazy tail and finish sculpting, I'll also have replica AJ hats to fit the playful pony size brushables.
 
I'm so excited that a pony convention is going to be so close to me! And after this week, I'm going to go nuts getting stuff ready for it.
 
Kanamai, do you have an idea of how many people are expected to attend?

Well we have an artist alley area where custom ponies and such will be sold, but we could set aside time in one of the rooms for a BST area for pony collectors.

Kanamai, do you have an idea of how many people are expected to attend?

We are hoping a few hundred will attend.

Just wanted to post a quick update:

The custom badge option will be disappearing in about 10 days and the regular badge options price will be going up.
So if you are wanting a custom badge, I would register now!

Woooah. So yeah, I'm sad I don't live in Yellow Springs anymore. But if I happen to be visiting friends at the time, I'll convince them to go!
