The pre-forum events will be held November 3, 2015 and will consist of the November Board meeting (open to all members), as well as our annual bowling and golf tournaments. Watch for updates as they are developed and posted onto SCAGPO’s website.

Vendor booths, sponsorships, and overall participation are vital to the success of our Forum. Please encourage your vendors to attend our Forum as you meet with them.

The Forum registration fee is $195.00 which included two (2) complimentary breakfast tickets for Wednesday and Thursday mornings if paid before September 1, 2015.
