2 Great Events in 2020!

Our final conference in Madison, and our new home starting in November of 2020 in Wisconsin Dells.

We are excited to share that our annual conference starting in the 2020-2021 school year will be moving not just location but the time of year (no more snow, ice storms, conflicts with state testing!). Join us for this big change November 4-6, 2020 at the Kalahari in Wisconsin Dells.

We are excited to offer sponsors of the 2019-2020 WSCA Conference (Monona Terrace) a special opportunity to lock in the same rates for the 2020-2021 WSCA Conference (Kalahari). These rates are ONLY available to 2019-2020 sponsors. Sponsor rates WILL increase at the Kalahari due to higher expenses.

Why Sponsor?

  • Expand your visibility and gain exposure with prominent placement the exhibit hall

Who Attends?

Over 1100 counselors, counselor educators, counseling supervisors, & graduate students from around the state of Wisconsin. Don’t miss out on one of the largest school counselor conferences in the nation!

Sponsorship packages range from $500 to $4,000 with higher levels waiving registration and advertising costs and some that include an exhibitor table, which is a new value this year!
