Opening Ceremony
Saturday 10:30-12:00 on Mane Stage
Yeehaw. Can you imagine? It has been a whole year since we last saw what
the gang has been up to. Join our lovely mascots to see what hijinx they are up
to this year. Will it include a dragon? Will Fanbrush turn evil this year? Will it
include a reflection on the harsh emotional reality of living in a profit driven
post-capitalistic society? Let’s find out together and ring in this edition of
PonyCon Holland!
Voice Acting Panel with Rebecca Shoichet and Kelly Metzger
Saturday 12:15-13:45 on Mane Stage
Join us for an exciting panel featuring Rebecca Shoichet, the voice actress
of Sunset Shimmer and the singing voice of Twilight Sparkle, and Kelly Metzger,
the voice actress of our fierce Wonderbolt captain, Spitfire!
The panel starts with an interview with both our voice actors, where they will
provide insights and maybe even some fun behind the scenes details of
working on everypony’s favourite show!
Afterwards there will be room for questions from the audience! Make sure
you don’t miss this opportunity to interact with this year’s special guests!
Unicorn Mythology by Malte
Saturday 12:15-13:45 in Panel Room
The domestication of horses and their high appreciation by humans
have brought forth many myths and legends about equine or partly
equine creatures. Apart from the unicorns as the most famous, further
examples include the pegasi, centaurs and the hippogriffs. This panel offers a
little insight into some of the historical sources, beliefs, legends, and art which
make up for some of the roots of the series we know and love and that
inspires us to continue the tradition with tales and art of our own.
Tails of Equestria Workshop by Victorymon
Saturday 12:30-14:00 in Workshop Room
Create your own pony hero and dive into a magical mini-adventure of
friendship, cake, and explosions! No experience needed. Everything is
provided. Together we’ll roll dice, face challenges, and discover the power of
storytelling (and maybe a little chaos). Music may set the scene, and surprises
await at every turn.
Audience participation is warmly invited. Cheer, laugh, and
share the magic as our adventure unfolds. Join us and see
how epic a simple roll of the dice can be!

Hasbro on Bronies by New Leaf
Saturday 14:00-15:00 in Panel Room
Hasbro and the Bronies have always been a fascinating duo—one creating
the magic, the other taking it to heights no one could have predicted! Over
the years, the fandom has grown into a worldwide phenomenon, filled with
creativity, passion, and countless inside memes and jokes that even the
creators couldn’t have seen coming. But how much does Hasbro really know
about the Brony community? How do they interact with us? At this panel, we’ll
explore exactly that and marvel at just how much they really have been
watching us and how they have followed our journey!
Jeremy Whitley Panel with Jeremy Whitley (no way)
Saturday 15:15-16:30 on Mane Stage

series! As a long-time writer for the MLP comics, with over 55 issues to his

told! Of course there will also be room for audience questions, if there is
something you’ve always wanted to know about the comics, now is the perfect
chance to ask it!

Music Panel by Koa
Sunday 11:45-12:45 in Panel Room
Musicmaking is a complicated world - we can never get enough of nostalgic
references and the hooks of hits past... but originality and freshness are
prized and, frankly, necessary... but then, creative influence is
unavoidable, isn't it?
We could spend days pondering the philosophy of
originality, OR... we could talk about how to have fun
with influences and use them to make something new.
And that's what Koa's here to do! Join us as we take
a deep dive into some of her past work, and discuss
the many ways you can reshape your favourite music
into something all your own!
