Oh, we're talking about meet-ups, are we?
I've only been fortunate enough to attend 2, both with my visiting girlfriend last year. One was at my current school, Lawrence Tech, and was organized by a few people from my classes that I didn't even expect to be bronies. The other was at Youmacon.
Last year marked the first ever MLP panels at Youmacon, and they SEVERELY underestimated the sheer GIRTH of the fanbase. We tried attending a day-1 panel by waiting an hour before it started, but when we got there we found that not only did the people in charge screw up scheduling by letting it start an hour early, but the people stuck outside the panel were the remaining two-thirds of the line for it.
Thankfully, they at least had the sense to hold the day-2 MLP video panel in a much bigger room, and we had the sense to get there exactly an hour ahead of time. We were also fortunate enough to see that day's new episode along with tons of awesome MLP AMV's. Hopefully, what with Youmacon expanding out to Cobo Hall this year, they won't make the same mistakes again.

If you wish to know, you only need to ask.
