The <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/conferences\/conference-policies-and-guidelines\/conference-guidelines\/\">conference guidelines<\/a> have once again been updated with recent changes in our procedures and policies. We\u2019ve recently undergone some changes in how conferences are foil-supported, and those changes are now reflected in the policies themselves. We\u2019ve also clarified what some best practices should be for the many types of conferences that exist around the program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The changes are for the most part simply reflecting changes you\u2019ve already seen described on conference support. The policy now includes revised text describing what qualifies as a supported-conference versus what doesn&#8217;t, and some suggestions on how each type of conference should be organized, particularly with suggestions for number of sessions expected at each type.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We have also combined the information describing how to organize a Leadership Conference into the Policies document, simply for clarity and consistency. With the new way conferences are being supported, it makes sense to have all of these together now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thanks for taking the time to read about these updates, and I hope your future conferences are all successful and fun!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can find the updated documents, as well as additional tools to help organize your conferences on our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/conferences\/conference-policies-and-guidelines\/\">Conference Policies and Guidelines<\/a> page.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update to our support policies and best practices, updated to Jan 2017!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":57,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"language":[13],"class_list":["post-737","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-announcements","language-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/conferences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/737","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/conferences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/conferences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/conferences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/57"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/conferences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=737"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/conferences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/737\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":759,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/conferences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/737\/revisions\/759"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/conferences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/conferences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=737"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/conferences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=737"},{"taxonomy":"language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/conferences\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/language?post=737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
