Northern Indiana Judge Conference

Update: The conference will be held in Conference hall 2a of the Sweetwater building.

On behalf of all the Fort Wayne judges, we would like to welcome you to our city for a judge conference. This conference will focus on the skills required of L2 judges and will target L2 and experienced L1 judges looking to improve those skills.

Venue and start time

This conference will be held on November 5th at Sweetwater Sound, 5501 US HWY 30 W Fort Wayne, IN 46818. Check-in will be from 10-11AM and there will be a lunch break from 1-2PM. Attendees can park for free in the adjacent lot and can buy lunch in the on-site cafeteria.

Attendance and foil support

Attendance is capped at 20 people. In the event that more than this many people apply, selections will be made prioritizing judges in the conference's target audience (especially experienced L1's hoping to advance to L2). Attendees whose applications are accepted will receive a selection of judge foils pending completion of a brief feedback survey on site. Unfortunately, we cannot extend foil support to judges who apply after October 4 or judge candidates who have not yet certified, although members of these groups are still welcome to attend.
