The third annual Bricks by the Bay LEGO® fan convention will be held Friday-Sunday, March 16-18, 2012. All serious LEGO® builders are welcome to attend and participate. See http://www.bricksbythebay.com/ for more information.

The Convention will run all three days and be open to all registered attendees only. It will consist of a variety of activities and the opportunity to display your creations, receive prizes, and meet fellow builders in a relaxed, social atmosphere. Registration cost is $50 for Basic or $85 for Deluxe, until February 3rd, 2012 when prices go up by $5.

Location:
Hyatt Regency Santa Clara

Santa Clara, CA 95054 USA

Benefits of attending the convention include:
  • Custom engraved name badge made out of LEGO bricks
  • Access to speeches, presentations, and discussion sessions
  • Show your models in the Grand Ballroom for convention attendees and the public
  • Become a vendor (additional fee applies) to sell LEGO and related products at the convention and public show
  • Exclusive discounts at the LEGO store (TBA)
  • Chance to receive free LEGO sets in Prize drawings and contests
The event theme this year is “Green.” It is inspired by the fact that St. Patrick’s Day takes place that weekend, but we’re not limiting it to that: any creative use of the color green, subjects relating to the environment, and of course Ireland or St. Patrick’s Day themed models are suitable. In 2010 our theme was “The Brick Artistic” and in 2011 it was “Creative Combinations.”

If you’re interested in attending the whole convention, read all about the Convention, Hotel, Registration, and Schedule, along with more information about the weekend’s events.
