BronyCon has added a new section for those above the age of 21 called "&Up" Programming, essentially paving the way for things that are usually banned at the event. They don't go into specifics on what exactly is allowed other than a vague "Comedy club and local bar setting", meaning that adult artist alley or clop panel idea may not actually be what is hinted here, but I'm sure we will find out soon enough what gets the acceptance.
They have panel submissions open for it now. Get the press release below!
BRONYCON ANNOUNCES &UP PROGRAMMING
(BALTIMORE)—In keeping with BronyCon's commitment to having something for everyone, the convention is proud to introduce “&Up” programming.
Reserved for attendees 21 years of age and older, &Up programming will include a level of content typical of what may be encountered at a comedy club or your average neighborhood bar. These &Up events will provide additional exciting content for those of age individuals hoping to experience panels that contain content previously barred in order to make all events comply with an all-ages scope.
All &Up events will be held in convention space in the Hilton Inner Harbor attached to the convention center. As in previous years, the Baltimore Convention Center will remain an all-ages space. For safety reasons, attendance of these events will be restricted to those with current and valid forms of photo identification.
The Events Department will be accepting panel applications to host these events, along with all other panels until Feb. 29. To apply, please visit http://bronycon.org/events/
