When Gen 5 comes out, will they bring BronyCon back?

[Azureth 687]

This is its last year but when Gen 5 comes, and assuming it's really good, will they bring it back, or do you think this is the end for these kinds of cons even if it's really good?

[Usager 433]

Depends on the success i guess

[Twilight Luna 31,466]

Gen5 would have to be as popular as Gen4 was at the height of its popularity for them to even consider having it come back.

Considering FiM is in its last season, I feel like they just would’ve kept going instead of bring it back for G5. The reason BronyCon is ending is because activity/attendance has been declining the last few years and they want to be able to go out with a bang, so I don’t think anything G5 does will bring it back.

G5 would have to be amazing. It is sad to see the con end. I wonder if they could combine it with other stuff, like CartoonCon. Wait, maybe I have something here.... 

It already exists.

I doubt it. G5 would have to eclipse G4 in popularity for that to happen in order for enough heads to turn and respark the fandom. 

And even then there's already a bit of over saturation in the MLP con scene. The U.S. holds more MLP conventions then cons are dedicated to entire genres of TV, let alone the TV shows themselves. So the current con-scene can probably cater to the demand regionally, rather than having the fandom gather in Baltimare every year.

If there's a demand for it. Considering so many went out of business based on low attendance and declining interest (just look around here, for starters), they probably do not want to risk an embarrassing end. However, if G5 boosts Brony popularity again...they will for sure. I would. 

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,162]

As long as there is a demand for it AND the con wants to be sustainable. BronyCon's problem was that they were losing funds while losing attendance while not downsizing to meet that trend. However, with other cons out there to fill that void I don't see it returning; personally.

Anthing's possible tho!

[Misty Shadow 8,023]

It's possible, just not probable. I have a good feeling that G5 will be good, but I have no clue how fans will react to it. Fans are notorious for being very fickle and even if the new show is met with glowing praise at the time of its release, positive reception of a show and fan engagement of a franchise are not the same thing. What matters would be how many fans it convinces to go out to meet at a convention, and there also exist plenty of aspiring fans who simply don't have the resources to do so. My advice, stay optimistic, just reasonably optimistic.

I would say it depends on the success of gen 5. That would honestly be super cool though! 

[Ocean Breeze 5,143]

As said above, it depends on the success of G5. It would be cool though, since I've never been to a BronyCon before!

[heavens-champion 1,905]

I dunno. I'm not much of a convention person.

[Denim&Venöm 19,764]

Addendum. I kinda hope they don't. 

I've made my peace with BronyCon's ending. It was a fantastic four days to cap off a sensational seven years. 

Let another convention assume the mantel. By the sound of things, Everfree Northwest will be the new hub of the herd. 

[EpicEnergy 23,240]

I don't know, it seems like bronycon is gone forever.

[ToastedScone 398]

If the show's popular, then maybe? But regardless of that there will probably be collectors' cons with it on display, though they won't exactly be what we're looking for

[Adorable Lovestar 243]

I think there will be plenty of other conventions, but not Bronycon.

[Ocean Breeze 5,143]

I'm not sure if they'll ever bring BronyCon back. I wish, but I doubt it.

There's plenty of other conventions, so-
