Event Information
*******UPDATE*******
Due to what seems like a little more interest than expected, we are announcing that the conference is capped at 120 attendees. This is due to the booking of the venue that we are using and the number of people allowed in the venue.
Judges that apply after the 120 has been hit will be put on a "standby" list and if attendees withdraw from the event we will activate from that list.
*****2nd UPDATE*****
I am excited to announce, in cooperation with Wizards of the Coast, The SE-USA Winter Regional Judge Conference on December the 5th, 2015.
The event will be held at Springhill Suites by Marriott Downtown UAB, in beautiful Birmingham, Alabama.
Judge conferences represent an opportunity to socialize with regional judges, but more importantly they are a fantastic venue for education. Come see old friends and new, all while hearing seminars and attending workshops designed strengthen and hone your judging skills. Your peers will be presenting seminars and work groups on a wide variety of topics, so there will surely be presentations of relevance regardless of your level or position in the program. This is a standalone conference, not associated with any event. This will allow you to focus all of your efforts on the topics at hand without being distracted by other duties or the anticipation of such.
EVERYONE is welcome, regardless of level or geographic location. Come one, come all! That said, if you do plan to attend, please be sure to apply here so we have an accurate head count in advance.
SCHEDULING
The conference will run from 12pm through 6pm, and will be followed by a judge dinner immediately afterwards at a glorious TBD location.
TESTING
If you are an L0 interested in testing for L1 at the conference, please contact our L1 testing manager, Richard Jones at inkraven@gmail.com

FOIL SUPPORT
Our leaders in all things Magic, Wizards of the Coast, are graciously rewarding attendance of certified judges at this event with a selection of judge foils. The number of foils distributed will be dependent upon the number of sessions attended as well as completion of a survey to provide feedback to the presenters.
In order to guarantee that you will receive foils at this event, you must pre-register. There will be no exceptions for any reason. Judges who register after the application deadline of October 31st, 2015 will be welcome to attend, but will not receive foils. Judge candidates testing for Level 1 at the event will, also, not be elegible to receive foils.
