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

The Convention will run all three days and be open to all registered attendees

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

The weekend culminates in a Public Exhibition on Sunday, March 18, 2012, from

under free).
Location:
Hyatt Regency Santa Clara
5101 Great America Parkway
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.”
