A schedule for the 2017 SCCA National Convention, as well as a list of planned seminars, is now available for review at the SCCA National Convention webpage.  More than 50 sessions are planned this year and cover everything from building a successful race series and recruiting volunteers to steward training and event marketing.

This year’s SCCA National Convention, with an overall theme of “Engaging Our Members,” takes places January 19-21 at the South Point Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. 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.

Registration per attendee is $275 this year, which is a decrease of $50 from last year, and Registration is now open online. 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.
