Title: Conversations Contest at 14th Uli Swap Meet
Searching for articulate sentients and protocol droids for a display of the best conversations and interactions the Galaxy has to offer. Stop by the 14th Uli Swap Meet to vote for your favorite! Cousins of diplomats, children of Jedi, and other well-rounded, articulate folk are invited to gather and enjoy the company of like-minded individuals at the Galactic Conversations Conference. Even those who have just started conversing in Galactic trade languages are welcome to attend and enjoy the inspiration and mentorship of the best conversationalists the Galaxy has to offer. In recognition of their importance to the hospitality trades and galactic communication, protocol droids of all types are also invited to attend and show off their conversation abilities.

As part of this conference, a contest will be held to choose the best conversationalist in attendance. Any visitor to the 14th Uli Swap Meet may stop by our tavern to meet contestants and submit their votes on our voting protocol droid. Voting will be open all hours of the day, every day of the swap meet: Year 23 Day 308-317. Are you wishing to enter the contest, but don't have connections to diplomats or protocol droids at hand? A new shipment of EV-series Supervisor Droids will be available at the convention for borrowing. When you request to enter the contest, make a note that you'd like to borrow a droid to rewire, script, or train and we'll have it ready for you.
