Brickvention is facilitated by a volunteer Organisation called Brickventures Incorporated. 10 volunteers from around Victoria spend 12 months planning and organising the event for the wider community.
Brickvention has played host to LEGO Models from some of the world's greatest LEGO Builders. From its conception to 2016, LEGO Certified Professional [[Ryan McNaught]] was a guest judge of Brickvention and decided on prize winners for the annual competition element held for the accepted builders.
