Exhibitor and Sponsorship Opportunities
Have you heard the news that the Wisconsin School Counselor Association is making some BIG changes to our annual conference?
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!). Our new date and location is expected to increase attendance, with a larger regional draw!
Join us for this big change November 4-6, 2020 at the Kalahari in Wisconsin Dells. Come for the conference, stay for the weekend!
A Note on Covid-19 and Our Contingency Plan
We know with the current climate that there are many questions regarding what will happen with events moving forward in a world still affected by the Coronavirus Pandemic. As of this moment WSCA is still committed to planning our in-person November conference. At the event we will adhere to all safety and health guidelines put in place by the State of Wisconsin and recommended by the CDC. In the event that those recommendations do not allow for an in-person event by the time of the 20-21 WSCA Conference, we have created special cancellation policies which will apply in case of any need for changes to a virtual format or outright cancellation.
Please review our special Covid-19 cancellation policies for exhibitors and for sponsors so that you can feel risk-free in your commitment.
