Hello everyone! BrickUniverse 2015 is only a few months away! BrickUniverse is a new convention for 2015 taking place in Raleigh, North Carolina, United States from 26-29 March. It is expected that plenty of AFOLs will be showcasing their creations at the expo, but even more exciting is that I will be representing Brickipedia in a panel about the online LEGO community! The seminar will have 4 main parts where various representatives of online LEGO sites will speak:

Introduction - This will allow me to speak about and publicize our site to people who may have never used it and to inform people on some things about us they may have not known.
Impresssion of the community - This segment will allow me to speak as to what my opinions are of the online LEGO community and how Brickipedia has an impact on it.
Comparison of the community - During this segment I will compare the online community to the "real life" community and how they are similar, how they're possibly different, and how they intertwine with each other.
Question & Answer - This segment allows members of the audience to ask questions and have the speakers of the seminar answer them.

I might try to record the seminar and share it with you all after the event, but I look forward to representing Brickipedia publicly in front of other LEGO fans.

As with most conventions, it's likely that various representatives of the LEGO Group will be at the event. I don't have any specific names as to which LEGO employees will be there but if there's anything you'd like me to ask a LEGO representative, let me know in the comments!

I'll also photograph all the MOCs on display and upload them to Flickr so you all can see what creations people brought to the expo.

Additionally, if any other users are planning on attending the event, feel free to find me and say hello!
