Okay, so one (or two, im not sure.) year ago, roblox had, essentially a convention for roblox in california, and this year they are doing it again! oh boy!!!1 Heres a copy of the information from the roblox blog:
ROBLOX Game Conference 2012 runs from 10 a.m. to about 4:30 p.m – six-and-a-half hours. Between the main stage, user feedback sessions and Hackathon, we have roughly 15 hours of scheduled content to offer. Unless you possess the ability to be in two places at the same time, you’re going to need to prioritize.
To help you plan, we’re announcing a detailed agenda of events. Please note that this schedule may change slightly, so keep an eye on the RGC 2012 page for updates.
We strongly recommend you buy tickets online so you don’t waste any of your valuable time standing in line the day of the event. Plus, if you buy your ticket online by tomorrow, July 1st, you’ll receive a virtual sword. (wow!!1)
