As much as St. Louis sounds awesome (given that I am a super long 15-minute car ride from downtown) it just isn't a good place for Nationals. Assuming I am successful in my quest to organize a competition (sometime this fall, hope to see you there), that gives us one relatively inexperienced organizer, 0 delegates, and a serious cubing base of around 8 people. Kansas City is wayyyyy better.

For people too lazy to go to the nats site:
Seminars: These will be taking place at approximatley 7:00 pm on Friday, the order and topics are as follows
Michael Young, Rowe Hessler, Tommy Szeliga: Square-one tips and tricks
With new advances in hardware, Square-1 has gotten incredibly popular in the last year. In fact, the number of competitors for this event here at Nats has tripled since last year, from 63 up to 182. In this seminar, three of the continent's fastest Square-1 solvers would like to walk you through the event, and what there is in store in the future. We'll concentrate on the most popular method, Vandenbergh, and go through base methodology, tricks for beginners on how to get faster, and expansion methods for more advanced solvers that would like to push their times even further, such as OBL, CPP, PBL tricks, and CSP. We think that Square-1 is a fascinating event with a ton of room for even more improvement, and we can't wait to bring our knowledge to you all!
Chris Tran: ZZ-CT
That guy who taught you cool tricks about reducing ZBLL is back this year to tell you all about the exciting new speedsolving method, ZZ-CT! One of the most viable ZZ variants in years, it sets up a LL skip 100% of the time!
But it gets even better! Same recognition as OLL/PLL! 33% 2-gen, 20% OLL skip, ridiculously short and fast cases, and 1/360 chance of LL Skip without setup!
How many "algs" are there? 108 for setup, and 72 to solve everything.
(But I'll teach you some tricks to get that number under 100!)
Absurd! How does it work?
Come listen and find out!
TheCubicle.us
TheCubicle.us will be doing a QnA session as a seminar! After a brief overview of our company, we'll open up the floor to let the audience ask questions about us! Feel free to ask anything about our history, our people, and many other topics! We hope to see you there.
Lucas Garron: History of scramble generators and how they work
Ian Scheffler: Cracking The Cube
CRACKING THE CUBE is Ian Scheffler's book about the world of competitive Rubik's Cube solving. He learned to solve the Cube years ago, thanks to Toby Mao, Tyson's younger brother. For the past four years, he's been delving into the world of the Cube, all the way from Hungary (where he met the elusive Mr. Rubik), to Brazil, where he participated in the 2015 World Championship. Along with Collin Burns and Weston Mizumoto, Ian will discuss the book, which comes out this October 18th.
They look interesting! Also can't wait to listen to Chris Tran again. I wish Chris (Olson) was doing a cubing videos seminar though

That moment when you don't get to see any of the seminars cause you're checking FMC during that time :'( Really hoping they get filmed so I can see them later!
