I have been to one brickwork convention. It was really cool, but they no longer come to my state. But I liked it a lot. I met so many people I knew from Flickr and Instagram.
We live in the Chicago area and we have gone to Brickworld several times. It’s a fantastic event for the kids. They are all into Lego. And of course I enjoy it too. The event is full of amazing builds!
