Event Information

This miniconference is aimed towards Judge candidates and new level ones. This is a great opportunity for judges around the area to get together to strengthen skills, learn from experienced judge staff, and to meet other judges in the area. This is a foil supported conference, meaning anyone who is a certified judge before the deadline on October 14th  will receive a foil packet. Supplies are limited to the first 20 people who sign up.

There will be pizza provided by our wonderful hosts at The Gathering Place. Please let us know in your cover letter if you will be eating pizza, and any preference in toppings. If dietary restrictions prevent you from eating pizza there will be a designated lunch break in which you will be able to find food locally.
