Let ‘er Ride! -- 2017 SCCA National Convention Back to Vegas, Baby
TOPEKA, Kan. (March 9, 2016) – The annual SCCA National Convention will once more be bathed in neon lights as the event returns January 19-21, 2017 to Las Vegas, Nevada, and the South Point Hotel and Casino.

The Convention will again be a familiar format that encompasses leadership development and skills training within the Club, and possibly a few conceptual sessions designed to help members break the constraints of tradition and begin thinking outside the box. Three key components -- a Leadership Summit, the Annual Meeting and SCCA Hall of Fame induction ceremony – shall form the core from which enlightening instructional seminars will sprout over the three-day event.

Details on times and a full schedule will be announced later this year. But as usual, the Annual Meeting and welcome reception will be held Thursday, followed by two days of training. The SCCA Hall of Fame and Awards banquet on Saturday night then caps festivities.

Lisa Noble, SCCA President and CEO, said the National Convention is a fantastic occasion to gather the Club’s best and brightest. The forum is an opportunity to highlight skills and innovative ideas with current Regional leadership and those leading the way in the future.

“Equipping those individuals who are motivated and dedicated to advancing the SCCA is the goal of the National Convention,” Noble said. “Ensuring the long-term health of our Club and motorsports is a byproduct of this gathering. Plus, it’s great getting together with friends in Vegas to talk about the different ways we’re all having fun with cars.”

More information about the 2017 SCCA National Convention will be made available at SCCA.com/convention in the coming months.

TOPEKA, Kan. (October 21, 2016) – In 2017, the annual SCCA National Convention is headed back to Las Vegas, Nevada, January 19-21 for more than 40 planned educational sessions at the South Point Hotel and Casino.

 

Convention elements planned for 2017 include the traditional Annual Meeting and Welcome Party Thursday evening, followed by Leadership Summit seminars Friday and Saturday intended to provide SCCA members with opportunities to further develop leadership skills, acquire specific SCCA training and network with others from the Club.  The SCCA Hall of Fame and Awards banquet on Saturday night then caps festivities.

 

While there will be a wide range of topics addressed during Leadership Summit sessions, the overall theme for the 2017 SCCA National Convention is “Engaging Our Membership.”  Topics to support this will focus on recruiting new leaders, developing strategies to build stronger bonds within our organization, and encouraging members to become involved in multiple aspects of the Club.

 

Along with traditional content for established SCCA programs, there will also be a focus on creating financial stability within Regions.  Other topics include event marketing and communications, and youth engagement.  A preliminary seminar schedule will be released in the coming weeks.

 

Registration per attendee is $275 this year, which is a decrease of $50 from last year.  Registration will open Nov. 1 online at SCCA.com. A block of rooms has been set aside for SCCA National Convention attendees, and guests can book a stay by contacting the hotel’s reservations department directly at 866-791-7626 or visit the hotel’s reservation webpage.  In order to obtain the special group rate, guests need to identify themselves as being with SCCA 2017 National Convention or supply the group code SCC2017, which will entitle a rate of $65.00/night Monday through Thursday, and $105.00/night for Friday and Saturday.  Additional fees and taxes may apply.

 

The block of rooms for convention attendees will be held until December 26, 2016. So don’t delay in making reservations.  The hotel requires a first night’s deposit of room and tax, per room, to guarantee individual reservations, and a credit card will be charged for the first night’s room and tax.  Guaranteed reservations will be held until 6:00 a.m. the following date.

If SCCA doesn't want this public, let me know, I'll take it down.

You have to be logged in to see it, they're on the right.
