AFOLCON and The LEGO Show are back for 2012!
We’ve just got confirmation that AFOLCON and The LEGO Show are back for
2012!
Specifically, the 3rd - 7th May 2012 in Manchester, UK.
For those of you that haven’t heard about the show before, ‘AFOLCON’ is a
special adult only fan convention for AFOLs from all over the world. After
private convention days, the show is opened to the public as ‘The LEGO Show’.
In 2011, AFOLCON had around 80 attendees from all over the UK, Europe and even
Zimbabwe! There was a full day of conference sessions giving the inside track
about the LEGO community.
The keynote session saw the launch of the LEGO Master Builder Academy, followed
by sessions from LEGO and TT Games designers as well as a LEGO certified
professional and LEGO Serious Play consultant.
Not only that, but every AFOLCON attendee also received a goodie bag worth over
£50 each and were invited to visit the LEGOland Discovery Centre too for a
special after hours visit.
The LEGO Show attracted over 5250 members of the public and included both
Bricklink stores and a LEGO Brand store, as well as a LEGO museum and theatre.
For 2012, the team have raised the bar!
- New Location! We’re moving to a huge new location at the Trafford Center with over 6000 sq meters of exhibition space (and it’s right opposite the Discovery Centre!)
- Free Parking. Not only for AFOLS, but also the public. There are over 3000 free spaces.
- More sessions. AFOLCON will be split over two days this year, giving more time for talks, workshops and of course socialising.
- Open to everyone. The extra space available also means that now anyone can display at The LEGO Show - you don’t have to register for the full convention to join in the weekend fun (though, of course, you’ll miss out on all the sessions and other goodies!)
For more details on AFOLCON and how to be involved, check out www.afolcon.com
now.
Registration is open to attend the full conference or just display a MOC.
Public ticket sales and information are also open right now at
www.thelegoshow.com.
