Debate Con is for NYC Debate Educators and by NYC Debate Educators. This event is  for all middle school and high school debate educators, coaches,  and teachers. The purpose of the conference is to help coaches and student leaders grow and learn from one another, share best practices, as well as build collegiality in the NYC and greater  debate community. We will have tracks for all levels of debate instructors from beginners who have never coached debate to advanced instructors who have coached debate for over a decade to a high school varsity student/captain track for student debate leaders.  Breakfast, lunch, snacks and refreshments are provided.  This conference is FREE for all NYCUDL registered schools. There is a small fee of $10.00 for non NYCUDL members.
