Being at SAFECON involves patience and flexibility. Changes often happen and the judging staff do their best to communicate as soon as they can. Please be familiar with the communication method designated by the Chief Judge and if in doubt about setup or use, contact them prior to the start of SAFECON to make sure you are ready to receive all updates in a timely manner.
This year Chief Judge Updates during SAFECON will be provided via Telegram. This is the fastest way to broadly communicate important notes and time changes during each day’s events. Please sign up to receive timely alerts.
