a LEGO Fan convention held at the Legoland Park in California?

Yes. I have never been and would love to do an outing to the park in conjunction
with a con.

That said, I suggest it be done as an optional "add-on" preferably the day
BEFORE the main con starts. ie: Con runs Friday-Sunday with bus excursion to
LEGOland all day Thursday.

This would allow a full convention experience for everyone with the added chance
to go to LEGOland for those who wish. It would also add a day of informal
pre-con for those who would like.

Now, your input here is essential. What time of the year
would you prefer to have it?

I would suggest a late-spring/early-summer con to keep it away from established
cons and take advantage of nicer weather without the crowds of kids. It would
require some coordination with weather patterns and the park opening days.


What type of convention would you want?

A fun one!

I also applaud the idea of a self-contained con with a hotel/meeting facility
combination as mentioned by Tommy.

Does it need to carry a
recognizeable brand name such as BrickFest or such?

While there might be advantages to using an existing name if the con is meant to
become a regular occurrance it should have it's own identity.

How many days would you want it?

Thursday: LEGOland Excursion

Friday & Saturday: Convention Activities

Sunday: Wrap-up (possible second optional LEGOland excursion)


What types of perks from the park would you like to see?

Besides group rates some sort of behind-the scenes tour of the workshops would
be minimum. A lunch that includes a short talk or presentation by a LEGO exec or
professional would be a real bonus.
