New York City, it’s your turn. We’ve been practicing our BLOXcon game over the last month in Chicago and London, and it’s all been in anticipation of making this final in-person event of the summer as epic as it can possibly be.

I just stepped off of a plane after participating in our first-ever BLOXcon in London, England! In Chicago, Alan wrote a retrospective piece that focused on the the happenings at BLOXcon – so I thought I’d take a look back at the craziness I just experienced, and write about it. If you’re into the whole “brevity” thing, take a look at the video below for a quick summary of BLOXcon London. If you’ve got a few minutes, read about my BLOXcon experience, from setup to tear down.

BLOXcon London is wrapping up as we speak. It was, as expected, an exciting and amazing opportunity to meet with ROBLOX fans across the pond (and one family from Tennessee that made the trek with us). While we’ll have a more detailed recap in the coming days, we want everyone to see what it was like to be part of BLOXcon London today at the Royal Air Force Museum. Thanks to everyone who attended and made it a totally enjoyable, totally worthwhile event.

Yesterday (and today), the BLOXcon team trekked across the Atlantic to London for our next fan convention, this Saturday at the Royal Air Force Museum. While more than 20 of us will be there running the show, we’re not the only people you should be seeking; several successful community members will be there to interact with their fans, as well. Read on to find out who we’re talking about (and to get prepared for an awesome BLOXcon experience).

First, a look at what’s going on at BLOXcon London

Main Stage Presentation: CEO and ROBLOX Co-Founder David Baszucki and VP of Marketing and Brand Experience Brad Justus will lead a two-hour presentation covering a gamut of ROBLOX news and developments. We’ll showcase new and upcoming ROBLOX features, make exciting announcements, give BLOXY and Hall of Fame awards, host a Q&A session where the whole audience can participate, and more!

If you’ve been paying attention, you know the countdown to BLOXcon London actually commenced when there were more than 100 days to go. But now it feels real. T-minus seven days and counting.

Last weekend at BLOXcon Chicago, we announced the winners of a bunch of prestigious awards. BLOXY Awards go to ROBLOX filmmakers, who crafted films for five unique categories in the ROBLOX Film Festival. The Hall of Fame Awards were designed to highlight some of the best community-created content of the last year. Finally, this year’s ROBLOX Hackathon was the most challenging yet, offering scripting and building challenges that pushed the knowledge boundaries of our cunning participants. In this article, we’ll be detailing the winners of each of these events, though keep in mind that there will be more–different winners will be revealed at each respective BLOXcon, so stay tuned to the blog for more winners after each remaining location. All winners will receive their virtual prizes in the near future.
