Good day,
I am attempting to find out how to apply for this conference. I am very new to the judge program (just completed all of the modules on this site) and I am still looking to find a Level 2+ to sponsor me.
The reason I want to attend this conference is to get a better understanding of the judge program, meet new people in the area and to hopefully complete my L1 testing if it hasnt been completed by then.
In terms of items I would like to learn at this conference, I am very interested in learning more about regular REL vs Comp REL, and (odd) issues that judges have come across at those events, as well as how they dealt with them.
Thank you very much,
Nick LaRone
