Northeast Fall 2015 Judge Conference

On behalf of the USA Northeast, we are excited to invite you all to our region's next Judge Conference!  This conference will be held on Saturday, September 19, 2015 at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, MA.

How to Register

If you are interested in attending, simply click the "Apply Now!" button up above!  We will accept applications on a constant basis, so that you can quickly gain access to the event forums.  We expect the forums to be a helpful resource for coordinating travel and hotel plans with other judges.

All are welcome to attend, including uncertified judges and judges from regions outside the Northeast!  If you know an uncertified judge who is planning on attending, please encourage them to register for the event via JudgeApps so they can receive updates and information about the event, as well as help ensure an accurate headcount.

As a sign of appreciation, all certified judges (Level 1 or higher) who register on or before Wednesday, August 19, 2015 will receive a selection of promotional foil cards, proportional to the number of seminars attended.  Judges who register after August 19 are welcome to attend, but will not be eligible to receive foils.
