Event Information

We  hope you're excited for the first Judge conference in South Dakota, because we are! We have space for 100 people for Sat - as a result it is very important to apply and if you can't make it let us know so someone else can attend.

We are planning to have a judge dinner Saturday night. Sunday there is a Modern PPTQ at the store starting at 10am and entry is $30, $25 for judges who attended the whole conference. 

Presenting
Please mention in your application if you would like to present or lead a workshop and on what topic.

Testing is available for both L1 and L2 at this conference.  If you are interested in testing, please answer the question about testing in the application.  There will be a forum post with further information about testing as we get closer to the conference.
