Wichita H.O.T.

One of the many great breakout session on Saturday!

The HOT classes sold out in record time, but there are still going to be some great lecture classes available. We hope to see everyone there.

Never fails to amaze us, classes unlocked at 9am, by 9:07 almost all classes were full (that’s over 250 of you). If the classes you wanted were full get your name on the waitlist ( https://form.jotform.com/80894497304164 ) . We are working on adding a couple Saturday only classes, one of the downsides of live fire and all volunteer organization is we lack the capacity and space to safely do a larger class size.

Registration opens tomorrow morning at 9am central!

As you may know, we are 100% volunteer, with that comes some inefficiency. The guy that updates our forms is in the middle of a house move so I’m posting the old link for Wichita HOT submissions. It will work as it should, just ignore the dates.

Submissions open till end of February (28th). We will contact the applicants late March and start announcing classes in April for a May registration. Wichita HOT is October 10-11.
