A heads up for all those Australian LEGO fans out there. I plan to attend and hope to have a blast.
Brickvention is Australia’s own LEGO convention and it’s only a few months away!
The 2009 Brickvention will be held over the Australia Day Long Weekend (January 24th to 25th) in Melbourne, Australia and promises to be an exciting event.
Following on from the success of the previous years, there will be competitions, presentations, demonstrations and lots of interesting things to see and do.
Highlights of the weekend include:
- MOC displays (including town, modular houses, train, moonbase, and space)
- Building competitions
- Dirty Brickster
- Dirty Buildster
- Build-in-a bag
- Timed build
- Brickfilms
- Brikwars
- Trade tables
We’re all really excited about the event and can’t wait to meet lots of other AFOLs from all over Australia and around the world.

NOOO! Why the Australia Day weekend? I probably won’t be able to get to the east then. Bugga.
BTW, from where do we know there will be films shown? Last year there wern’t :/
^ I just copied the press release. Any inaccuracies are not mine.
Press release…From where/what site?
LUGNET, the Ambassadors forum and I suspect other places.
Oh, I see. In any case, I emailed them and asked if they will be showing films, and if they are, I offered to screen some of my films: http://www.youtube.com/legofilmer24
Maron, you bring them, they will play them!
The Victoria University conference facility (site of Brickvention) provides A/V equipment which will be utilized for both the keynote presentations and the screening of Brickfilms.
can a non-registered atendee bring brickfilms to show?
Please direct organisational questions to the convention organisers through the channels on the website.
okay, thanks-just wondering if anyone knew
