There will be judge foils available for attendees of this conference, based on attendance and participationAdditionally, those who dedicate their time by presenting seminars will be awarded additional judge foils. All attendees must register through Judge Apps, ideally letting us know the number of days that you plan to attend! This allows us to plan more accurately and make a better conference experience for everyone!

Bring EDH/Commander decks and any other games that you think would be fun with a group - there will definitely be time for gaming.I have a selection of Boardgames we could also have fun with. Bring your own if you want to tempt us.
