Tennessee Mini Conference

I'm happy to announce the Tennessee Mini-conference is now available for signups. This will be held at Bobs Games in Cookeville, TN on July 21. 

Our community continues to grow and as more judges continue to join the local Magic scene we must ensure that they stay up to date on current best practices. Judge Conferences are the occasion to meet new people and see old friends, to learn and to teach, to share your tips and spread knowledge. They are one of the best opportunities to get good practices and share what works for you. During this conference, short seminars or workshops focused on one aspect of the judge program will be presented by volunteers.

We are looking for four (4) presenters for this conference. If you would like to head a seminar, please make it clear in your application and include what topic you would present on and your experience presenting that topic previously, as well as any tools you will need for your presentation. Please note, a projector may not be available, so keep that in mind.

The Judge Conference is open to everyone, regardless of Judge Level or location. We are limited to 40 seats and may need to prioritize applications. Acceptances will be weighted by 1) Willingness to present during the conference and 2) Location (with priority going to Tennessee judges) 

SCHEDULING

The conference will be run from 12pm until 5pm with one seminar each hour. Additionally, after the final seminar, we will be having the TN Fourth of Judge-ly party, included catered food. We just ask each person to bring a dessert or drink item if they wish to attend the afterparty.

FOIL SUPPORT

Our friends at Wizards of the Coast are supporting this conference by providing a selection of judge foils for our attendees. The number of foils given to each attendee will be based on the number of seminars attended. Starting in 2018, Mid-Atlantic Judges are limited to two (2) attendance packets of conference support per year, this is to ensure our allocation of foils from Wizards is enough to last through the year. 

In order to receive foils, your application will need to be submitted before June 14.
