Convention Day Overview
Welcome to Convention Day 2025! This page contains information on the program and activities on Convention Day.
Click here for the latest schedule, please note this is subject to change right up until the start of the day so please check back for the latest.
From 9am til Noon, all talks and activities are at the main stage. We endeavour to keep to the schedule – we try hard not to run late, and if we’re running early we’ll wait until the published start time for the next agenda item – so please use it as a guide.
There is a 1 hour break for lunch from noon, at this time the vendors and the merch stand will also open (until 3pm). There is a raffle and a silent auction which will operate from beside the merch stand. Please remember there is no food/drink options on site on Friday so plan to bring your own or use this time to venture out for lunch.
The afternoon includes optional workshops and talks as well as Dirty Brickster – more information on these activities is below. It’s also free time to wander around and check out the exhibits without the crowds!
Then please join us back at the main stage from 4.45pm for final announcements including silent auction winners and raffle draws.
We can’t wait to see you at Brickvention 2025 Convention Day!

Dirty Brickster
Travis will again be hosting Dirty Brickster in 2025. Dirty Brickster is a kind of a white elephant gift exchange game and is somewhat similar to Kris Kringle. Each participant brings exactly one wrapped gift. The gift must be boxed LEGO set/s to the value of $50 – no stationery, bags of parts or non brickbuilding items. We understand Lego do not sell sets with a RRP of $50.. the set should be within the $45 to $50 range. Please try to choose something that you yourself would like to receive as a gift!
When the Dirty Brickster begins, participants form a circle with the gifts piled in the centre. Everyone checks their spot for the starting marker. If you have the marker, you go first. In a clockwise direction, each participant chooses a gift by either (a) unwrapping one from the pile or (b) stealing a non-locked gift. In the event that a participant’s gift is stolen, they have the same choices except they may not steal back the gift that was just stolen from them. Gifts are automatically locked (and out of the game) after being stolen for the third time. Once everyone has had a turn, the first participant may elect to steal any non-locked gift beginning a new round of theft. Once all gifts have been unwrapped and the theft has stopped, the Dirty Brickster game ends.
Pre registration is required for Dirty Brickster by purchasing a free ticket here, commencing 10am Monday January 6th.
You can register for the 1.30pm or 2.30pm session. Spots are limited.
Once you have registered, you are required to arrive with your gift pre-wrapped at your chosen time by the main entrance on Convention Day.
