Important Notes


In response to the Governor's extension of the stay-at-home order in Illinois to May 30, 2020, we are doubtful we will be able to hold an event in June. Registration and ticket sales are currently closed and we will be making an announcement as soon as we are able to coordinate with the event team at our venue.

Brickworld Chicago (our convention in Schaumburg, IL) begins on Wednesday the week of the event. Wednesday through Friday are devoted to registered attendees with Friday holding more younger attendee activities. During the day and evening of Wednesday through Friday, AFOLs have lots of time for bonding, sharing and set up of displays. During the day and early evening Thursday and Friday, there are workshops, presentations and round table discussions provided by fellow AFOLs and other community partners. These sessions are designed to give registered attendees the opportunity to share with each other, learn from each other, discover new aspects of the hobby, and explore the various creations fellow AFOLs have on display. There are opportunities to:

Build creations on site
Participate in contests and games
Hang out with friends
Learn more about the hobby
Have fun in many ways

The convention schedule will show the specific, planned activities and will be posted as Brickworld approaches. Generally speaking, there is a mixer on Wednesday evening, opening ceremonies are Thursday evening, workshops, presentations & set drafts are on Thursday and Friday, and set up the display rooms is Wednesday, Thursday & Friday. There are plenty of other activities too – all day long and most of the night for any registered attendee interested in joining the fun.

There are two types of registration available: Regular Registration and Late Registration. The differences in registration types is illustrated in the table below. Late Registration goes up in price because we want to encourage completion of registration before we are consumed by the details of final planning. So, please register sooner rather than later.
