Despite My Little Pony conventions and meet ups already existing before ''Friendship is Magic'', BronyCon was the first that was not predominantly targeted at toy collectors or young children. Its success spawned a significant number of other conventions as well as influencing existing My Little Pony conventions, such as [[UK PonyCon]], to begin accommodating the brony demographic. |
For several years, BronyCon was the largest brony convention in the world, with the final outing in 2019 drawing an attendance of 10,215 people. | For several years, BronyCon was the largest brony convention in the world, with the final outing in 2019 drawing an attendance of 10,215 people. | ||
