DerpFest 2017 - ДёрпФест 2017

Greetings, everypony!

My name is Alexander, some people know me as SteelHelmet.

I've been a part of the MLP community for five years. And I always wanted to make the communication between Russian and European bronies easier, partially because in both regions there are a lot of creative people and interesting projects but, sadly, language barrier has always been an issue, and both sides knew so little about one another.

After attending Czequestria'15 and Galacon'16 I came up with the idea of making DerpFest open for English-speaking community. That change allowed DerpFest'17 to evolve, becoming a bigger, international event.

Last DerpFest was held in November 2015, this convention was warmly welcomed by Russian bronies. Some pictures of the event are available on our website: derpfest.ru/en/about-us/gallery/

The upcoming festival will take place on November 4-5 in Moscow, Russia. We aim to provide the best entertainment for our attendees: contests, concert, workshops, panels, market... and of course our convention is a chance to meet new friends!

Our convention is designed to provide comfort for English-speaking attendees. Now we are negotiating with famous community guests from abroad, so panels in English will be available besides other events with simultaneous interpretation. During the entire convention at the information counter you will be able to find a special group of volunteers, they will help you with any difficulties related to language barrier. Also, if necessary, visitors can be assisted with hotel accommodation and receive information about Moscow public transport system and Russian visa requirements.

In addition, local-based quest game will take place on November 3. During this game you will be able to discover many interesting architectural monuments of the historic centre of the city! After the completion of the game our meetup will be continued in anti-cafe (place where customers receive free snacks, tea, coffee, wi-fi, video games etc. and pay only for time). There you can spend more time with friends over a cup of tea or coffee.

We sincerely hope that you will enjoy our festival and fond memories will remain forever in your heart!
