Registration is not a requirement--we realize that due to travel and check-in sometimes the decision to attend the conference is made at the last second. That being said, registration does help us plan better in terms of the seating arrangement and gearing the information to the audience, so please register if there is a good chance that you will attend, especially if you want there to be enough seats.

Fred does a great job running this, and we have some interesting panelists this year, so I recommend being there. Recordings from previous conferences are on our website, and this is one of the best sources of advice for getting better at quizbowl as a coach, student, and community member.

Hartsfield is on the lobby level of the hotel. It's in the collection of rooms opposite the hotel check-in desks. Go through the glass doors and Hartsfield will be on your right.

Fred should have an audio recording of it. (This was my test setup for video recording, and the audio did not work correctly, so I have a video recording without audio, which isn't helpful. Ophir might have a video recording from his webcam.)
