🍁FALL FRENZY 2026🍁
🌟Fall Frenzy Registration will open Wednesday the 16th at 6pm!🌟
**Please Read!**Registering does not guarantee you a spot!!
Any workshops that overfill in the first 24 hours will have working spots assigned through a random draw. We will make adjustments to the initial draw in an effort to accommodate as many people as possible, while considering workshop suitability and participants traveling longer distances. Anything that doesn’t fill in the first 24 hours will be first come, first served.
Please don’t feel like you need sign up the moment registration opens. As long as you enter within the first 24 hours, you will have an equal chance of getting into any workshop that fills during that period. This system is designed to give everyone a fair opportunity to register for the workshops they want.
You will receive an email by Tuesday, September 29th confirming whether you have a working spot or are on the waitlist. (Thank you for your patience as Perry will be in Finland competing at AWC from Sept 19th - 28th)
Please send any questions to udogfrenzyinfo@gmail.com
Want to come learn without a working spot? Audit the Frenzy!
Auditing is a great way to soak up all the Frenzy learning without registering for a working spot! Auditors are free to move between workshops during the time block(s) they’ve registered for, so you don’t have to choose just one instructor or workshop—you can watch whatever is most useful to you.

Two sessions in one day — $85
Full day (3 sessions) — $110
FULL FRENZY AUDITING PASS — $350
The Full Frenzy Pass gives you auditing access for the entire event, November 7–9 & 12–15 — seven days of workshops and the freedom to move between sessions and instructors.
