Judge Academy - Holiday Conference

Hello Judges! Looking at the end of the holiday season we figured this would be a great opportunity to run our very first conference for the year. This one will differ just a little as we intend on running a White elephant event as well. This will be a foil-supported conference with a few presentations / games to accompany our White elephant. In order to be eligible for foils you must be a certified judge by the application deadline. A tentative schedule will be posted soon.

During this conference we will focus on:

Team Building Exercises

Soft skill development

Getting to know our colleagues

Conference Schedule:

Introductions: 10:00 - 10:15
Presentation 1: 10:15 - 11:00 Theros Beyond Death and You - Ian Crow 
White Elephant: 11:00 - 12:00

Lunch: 12:00 - 1:00

Presentation 2: 1:00 - 2:00 Providing Effective Feedback - Ellen Petrila 
Presentation 3: 2:00 - 3:00 Investigations: Story Time with Uncle Scott - Scott Marshall 
Wrap up / Foil Distribution: 3:00

For information regarding the White elephant, please read below. Participation is not mandatory, but the more participants, the more interesting the game is. Please indicate on your application if you will be participating:

Each player brings a wrapped gift to contribute to the pool. (Try to keep gifts in the $10 - $20 range). Regifiting from a previous holiday / white elephant is of course acceptable.
