Please state in your cover letter your goals and expectations from attending this conference. This is VERY important. With space being a potential issue, this conference is geared toward judges who will make the most out of their experience.

AFTER CONFERENCE ESCAPE ROOM

 

In the spirit of team building what better way to do that than challenging an awesome escape room together. Located right next door to Atomic Empire we have Mission X Escape featuring 4 awesome rooms. After the conference we’re inviting all available and interested judges to participate. Each room fits up to 8 and we will need people to prepay for us to book it. Once we’ve determined how many are interested we will let everyone know how much it will be.
