Bay Area Brony Spectacular (aka BABSCon) is the San Francisco Bay Area's My Little Pony (MLP) fan convention. It was founded in 2013 and had its first event in April of 2014 with record-setting attendance. That first con was the largest ever for a first-year MLP convention and immediately made BABSCon one of the largest MLP cons in the world. Every year we offer three (3) days of pony filled fun for families, Bronies, and fans of all ages inside the SFO Hyatt Regency in Burlingame, CA. BABSCon brings together actors, writers, artists, and staff from the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic cartoon & IDW comic series; as well as community podcasters, YouTubers, artists & writers. MLP fans like you come to host panels, workshops & events, video & table top gaming and competitions, and so much more! In addition to all of the above, BABSCon has programming dedicated exclusively to the youngest attendees! BABSCon celebrates not only a wonderful world of pastel ponies but the friendship and community that inspires us all. Note: The Discord link on the BABSCon website has been changed.
