Event Information
Welcome to the Judge Conference for World Tour Minneapolis Featuring US Nationals!
We are happy to announce this conference for the Thursday before World Tour Minneapolis.
This event will have attendee support. We encourage all judges to come along and learn from one another in a positive environment.
Overview
The conference will take place at 13:00 on Thursday the 11th of June and is planned to end approximately 17:30-18:00.
The conference will be supported for presenters and attendees who attend all seminars.
In case total capacity becomes limited (but we should be fine!), the conference space will prioritize World Tour Minneapolis staff, and judges who meet the following criteria:
1) We will accept at least 1 Judge per region/subregion (so you can share what you've learned with your community).
2) We will accept Judges who are actively working towards L2.
3) We will also request feedback from the JCRs in case of need, to evaluate community involvement and mentoring activity.
We will push acceptances regularly.
Presenters
We are looking for one more presenter! In case you're interested, please indicate it in your application with the topic that you'd like to present about, and we'll reach out to you.
