Congratulations to all of our competition participants and winners! Each year at EAST Conference, students have the opportunity to sharpen their skills and further develop their self-confidence with our pre-conference and onsite competitions! Help us celebrate our winners as they learn winning is not about beating the next person, but developing the best version of yourself!
