No. We cannot allow you to bring and display your creations due to logistical and insurance reasons. However, anything created by you in our Building Zone will have a dedicated place for its display.

Okay, how CAN I bring in my creations to display?

Is this event going to have vendors selling LEGO® parts and sets?

Yes! There will indeed be vendors selling LEGO® related stuff: T-shirts, individual parts and sets - including many older, discontinued sets, and many custom items. There is no way of knowing precisely what will be available - come and explore for yourself!

Can I use a credit card to pay at the vendors?

Is there more than the Public Exhibition available?

Yes. BrickCon is at two levels.

Convention - where Adult LEGO® Hobbyists come together to share friendship, ideas, and activities with fellow hobbyists and to display their amazing creations. If you are an adult (18 and older) who enjoys the hobby of working with LEGO® elements - then you should Register and plan to join us for 3 15-hour days of fun and friendship. People under the age of 18 can also attend, but they must be accompanied by an adult who also registers, pays and attends.

Exhibition - where people of all ages and interest levels come to view our amazing creations and, hopefully, be inspired to build themselves. If you are interested in LEGO® at all, you should come to our BrickCon Exhibition on Saturday and/or Sunday and see the amazing things made with LEGO® elements and meet the awesome people who build them!
