Czequestria 2017: Digital Frontier (Prague, 18-20th August)

Walking along the edge of digital world is our daily life nowadays. But we observe the thin line between our and the one-and-zero reality still from one side. How could it change our lives, when we decide to cross the digital border? What welcome would the digital Equestria inhabitants prepare for us?

Czequestria 2017 will bring us all as close as possible - to the DIGITAL FRONTIER!

When: 18.-20.8.2017 (LARP of Friday, convention itself on Saturday and Sunday)
Where: KD Krakov, Prague (more info)
Webpages: https://www.czequestria.cz/ (also with accommodation and transportation info)

Tickets: https://www.czequestria.cz/tickets/

Get ready for traditional MLP themed Friday LARP which is going to be different this year: it won't guide you to see the beauties of Prague as much as the last one but it'll prioritize the Role Play part. Will you help Sunset Shimmer to solve a friendship problem? We're counting on you!

Plus of course MLP weekend filled with fun, fans, guests and entertainment of all kind.

Detailed information will be revealed in near future, stay tuned on official announcements on

• @Czequestria Twitter
• CZ/SK bronies Facebook

and of course here in this thread too.  ^.^

We are looking forward to see you in Prague!

One question that intrigued me: how does a LARP (Live-Action Role Play) usually work on your case, if it isn't something too particular? And how many people participates according to the statistics of previous years?

Hi,

One question that intrigued me: how does a LARP (Live-Action Role Play) usually work on your case, if it isn't something too particular?

We just released basic info about LARP to the webpage: https://www.czequestria.cz/larp-en/

In short it's designed to be suitable even for people, who never attended LARP before and more than "super serious competition" it's designed to enjoy the roles and have fun together.

And how many people participates according to the statistics of previous years?

Last time we had around 300 attendees at Czequestria and we expect approximately the same amount this year.

Crowdfunding to support Czequestria 2017 has just been launched !

As the Czequestria is drawing closer to us in time, the digital boundary moves closer to our reality. And starting today everypony can get their own piece of virtual world in a real form.

The more pieces of the virtual world you choose to bring into your reality, the more events will take place on this digital spectacular weekend , and those memories will last longer! Because as we all know, all important data should be carefully backed up, ideally at multiple places ?

And what can you get from the digital world of Czequestria? Enter the portal and check out the

Crowdfunding site

Cosplay? Cosplay show for everypony!

Cosplay is a traditional part of any fan convention, including ours! So if you are thinking about creating a costume of your favourite character then go for it! It’s most certainly welcome and if you’ve never tried it before, don’t worry – it’s great fun!

No need for years of experience this time – The Cosplay show on this year’s Czequestria is open to anyone who will dress into a costume and become his/hers favorite Equestrian or Equestria inspired character.

Details and further info at https://www.czequestria.cz/cosplay-show/

The first “Czequestrian” from far, far away land!

As with anything complex, MLP:FiM was created by people of all walks of life. And thanks to these folks we’ve been able to experience the joy of this wonderful & mesmerizing TV show. And apart from the voice actors, it’s the script & lore writers that create the actual story for those characters. And even though there is now more than handful of those that have been involved with this show, there is only one that is quite more close to Czequestria than any other…

Without further ado, it is our utmost pleasure to welcome book & script writer and a person, that’s definitely no party pooper

M. A. Larson

Sadly due to these duties he won’t be able to participate in person (as you could’ve guessed from the picture above), but you won’t be spared of his voice as he will call in via Skype.

Charity auction: Hippotherapy is Magic!

As tradition dictates, Czequestria 2017 - like almost every brony conventions  - will feature a charity auction! This year, we will be supporting a more equine cause - Hippotherapy , which is a form of Equine-assisted therapy. A close contact with the animals positively affects patient's motor skills, coordination and balance. Haven't you ever thought hugging equines could be magical?

Anypony can donate a mlp-related item to the auction and all the money will go to support the above mentioned magical thing.

For more information (also how to donate) see https://www.czequestria.cz/charity-auction/

Trotting here from distant land: Przewalski’s Ponies

If you’ve already visited Czequestria at least once, you will surely remember the brony music band which comes to visit us every year and always brings beautiful songs to every pony at the con. This year we are proud to announce that Przewalski’s Ponies are returning once again!

Special guest from the machine realm: Sweetie Bot project

We are excited to announce the attendance of a team behind the real life pony robot – the Sweetie Bot project! These guys are building a robot that looks and acts like an Equestrian pony.

Don’t miss the panel presentation where four team members: disRecord, mutronics, Renha and Zuviel, will tell you about the latest news of the project and answer the questions from the audience.

They will also bring a working prototype, so don’t forget to come to their table to give a brohoof to Sweetie! Here are few words from them:

«Sweetie bot Project is a small team of enthusiastic brony engineers from Russia interested in ponies and robots and working together on the concept and realization of Sweetie Bot.

Our mission is to take advantage of high tech magic to bring ponies into life in the robot form. We believe that in future humans and pony robots will be able to be friends and live together in peace and harmony.»

Be sure to check the http://sweetiebot.net and YouTube channel for the latest news and updates! Also the article about their current progress has been recently published on Equestria Daily.
