The European Pony Convention Union (or EPCU) was a multinational organization that existed between 2013 and 2016, that aimed to create a recognized standard for My Little Pony conventions—ensuring they were properly budgeted, competently managed, and positively represented the brony fandom to the public.[1] The creation of the EPCU was driven by the high-profile collapse of Las Pegasus Unicon in the United States.[2]

Conventions had to meet seven criteria to be considered for EPCU membership:[1][3]

  1. Be a registered and legally recognized organization within Europe.
  2. Have an organized funding plan.
  3. Have a public relations plan.
  4. Respect intellectual property.
  5. Be family-friendly.
  6. Be transparent about how the convention operates.
  7. Have held at least one previous convention.

Members
