Ich kann leider an deinen Namen nicht erinnern. Bist du der Fleischer?

Nein das ist MK13, ich bin der Typ mit der Sonnenbrille der das LARP abgebrochen hat.

Ah Das nächste Mal schubsen wir die Typen tatsächlich von den Segways. Dann hätten wir all die Probleme nicht gehabt

I have to do my vacation planning for 2018 now - can only apply for it during the next week (yes, vacation planning for train drivers at DB is somewhat... "special" and often leads to complications).

Is there already a date set for Czequestria 2018 ? If yes, I'd try to get vacation during that time. If no, well then... it's up to luck and other plannings again whether I can come to Czequestria 2018

[Billy-Rex]

As far as I know it's not even known if there will be a CZEq 2018.

[Emmanuel Goldstein]

Please do an Czequestria 2018 - we are all already looking forward to it...
(oh and BTW... I would already like to aplly for a panel... or at least I have a small little idea for a small little panel I could do)

[Yavos (†)]

Chances for Czequestria 2018 are not very high.
Second Czequestria followed 1 year after the first and the organizers decided back than that it's too much work to make it yearly. So Czequestria 2016 moved to 2017 and I guess 2019 there will be the next one.

But let's see if one of the officials says something else. Otherwise Czequestria has always been around the end of August.

This was Czequestria 2017 – photos and videos

---

It’s already a month since Czequestria 2017. During that time, the most vivid memories were overshadowed with the daily chores and work, but all those memories and happiness of spending the weekend together will remain.

We believe that all of the visitors have enjoyed the con – soon there will be an opportunity  to tell the organizers what you’ve liked the most and what needs to be improved for the future. But before that there is one important thing: for the memories to remain we have prepared the complete overview of photos, videos and tweets that reflect the authentic atmosphere of the convention.

Photos and videos – 2017 shared memories are here for you! Those that were there can relive those moments and others can see what they’ve missed at Czequestria 2017!  

[Jamis]

So much to read in this thread   I'll try to get through it and reply tomorrow.

Reading about how people enjoyed the convention is the best reward that organizers can get   thanks everypony!

If you still look for the con guide, we have leftovers - no problem to deliver it to Germany. I travel there quite often   next trip will be PCRP.

Heard about roughly 20%, don't have exact numbers. Huge increase in any case, and I'd say, the hedgehog now lives there.

Yup, about 70 attendees were from Germany. Huge increase indeed.

I just wonder if the afterparty in our flat is counted in just kidding - I have to warn you next time about some bottles and wardrobe surprises

It has been a really great experience and our kind Czech hosts and organizers of this marvelous event deserve all praise and credit:

Especially the LARP and the sheer number and creativity of the workshops were just amazing!
I do hope very much that this hasn't been the last Czequestria and that others will "take the helm" in case the main organizers of this year's Czequestria need to take some time for family and other life aspects (which of course must come first).
Here are the links to my Czequestria related Journals on Deviantart:
Ahoi! - Czequestria 2017 part 1
Ahoi! - Czequestria 2017 part 2 - The LARP
Ahoi! - Czequestria 2017 part 3
Again, thanks to all the planers, organizers and last but not least the many awesome guests who made this an event to look forward to when it was still coming, to enjoy while it was lasting, and to remember fondly once it was over and ever after

Thanks for the reviews   I'll include them in the next update of the "Memories" page on Czequestria website.

We got many messages about this, but honestly - it's too soon to make any decisions in this matter. I'm still trying to recover from the last half year of intense work at Czequestria preparations and trying to get my life into a bit non-stress shape and others from the core team do the same.

As I said, it's too early for any plans or decisions about the date of next Czequestria - at this point the whole organizers team is starving for some rest. So please don't ask us about it before Christmas.

True. Chances for next year are not as high as chances for the following year. The preparations take about half of a year and it takes most of our free time. Also we have full time jobs, studying, girlfriends, some are engaged since the Czequestria closing ceremony... you got the idea  the goal is keep the organization in non-mandatory feeling. Only then it can work.

So... we'll take a rest and then we'll see we all can meet even sooner at other meetups and cons. There are still plenty to choose and not become crazy when attending every single one (like in 2013/14: 13 cons in 12 months).

Anyway... LaserTag in Prague next month?

Ah... sorry - I'll include them in next update (probably later this week).


Few more things are to come out about Czequestria   soon.

Yesss absolutely, it's counted in and it was awesome! Warn ME about bottles? What? No, I was fine, 404 didn't take it too well xD
But what cwardrope surprises do you mean?...yeah okay maybe I've got some lack of memory from that evening xP

Better warn me about side effects of my blood pressure medication, I guess...

Charity auction – results

---

Our pony scouts report all paperwork complete!

With great joy we can announce that the result of this year’s charity auction at Czequestria 2017 was officially approved by the authorities. The responsible pony staff can finally catch some z’s.

We can also officially reveal the amount donated during the auction, which is almost unbelievable:

112 430 Kč
(~4392 €)

All donated money was given to Chewal Association, the hippotherapy organization.

Please allow us to once again thank all the people who donated items as well as the ones who participated in the auction!

The only Christmas surprise we have now is the Winter Karaoke Party 2017, which is not really a surprise, since this is the 6th time we organize it  

unlike Czequestria, it's in Czech language, only one day, not so many fancy panels, mostly fun (Karaoke, DDR, gifts giveaway, few vendors...) and currently serves as a big meetup for CZ/SK community. Everypony welcome

Thanks to everyone who contributed to make Czequestria 2017 happen! Although the whole convention might look like a work of a few individuals, there is a team of dozens of people contributing with their piece to achieve the common goal.

So, next time when you look back, don’t forget to remind yourself it was also your effort which has made this year’s Czequestria the most successful in its three-year history. And I’m honored to be a part of it with all of you!

Se next time when you meet somepony from the list, be sure that this year's Czequestria happenned also thanks to them. And they will be happy for sure, if you tell them how the con was for you

I uploaded 3 final panel videos to my Youtube channel (now it's complete).
