Event Information

We proudly announce the Grand Prix Barcelona 2014 — Judge Conference. This event will be held on Friday, February 28th 2014 at the Grand Prix Barcelona 2014 site.

Judge Conferences are the occasion to meet new people and see old friends from all around the world, to learn and teach, to share and spread knowledge. They are one of the best opportunities to get good practices and updated information passed amongst the judge community. During this conference, short seminars or workshops focused on aspects of the judge program will be presented by volunteer expert judges.

The Judge Conference is open to everyone, regardless of Judge Level, or whether you are judging at the Grand Prix.  If you are interested in attending, please apply here so that we have an accurate headcount.
