United States Nationals Weekend - Minneapolis, MN - Judge Conference

Welcome to the United States Nationals Weekend - Minneapolis 2024 - Judge Conference event!
We are happy to announce this conferences for the Thursday before the US Nationals in Minneapolis.

Overview

The conference will start at 11:00, on Thursday 13rd June and is planned to end around 17:00.
There will be a long lunch break to socialize as well as smaller breaks to space up the day. These are clarified in the schedule.

There will be attendee and presenter support.
You need to attend at least 4 seminar/workshops to be eligible for receiving attendee support.

Conference space will prioritize United States Nationals Weekend staff.
Total capacity is 100 people. We will process the acceptances based on these criterias:
1) We will accept at least 1 Judge per region (so you can share what you've learned with your community).
2) We will accept Judges that are working towards L2 and have completed most of the checklist.
3) We will also request feedbacks to the JCRs in case of need, to evaluate community involvement and mentoring activity.

We strongly encourage you to write a good cover letter, outlining why you'd like to attend this Conference and your involvement in the Judge Community, especially if you've been on Staff on a few Premier Events.

We will initially push a first round of acceptances within a few weeks, to allow participants to plan their trips.
The second batch will be done two weeks before the conference, to fill cancellations. If you know you won't be able to participate, please withdraw your application.
We will then fill up the remaining spots the week before the event.

We will not decline some of the applications once the cap is met. If any of the accepted judges withdraw, we will process more acceptances till we reach full capacity again.
