Double Down on Success!
The chips are down, the stakes are high, and it is time to hit the jackpot! The 2026 SCALA Fall Convention & Trade Show is officially rolling into Cherokee, and we are ready to deal you a winning hand.
Our Convention Brochure is packed with everything you need to plan your winning strategy, except for the full agenda, which will be available in July.
From high-stakes networking to ace-level education, this is the one event where you absolutely cannot afford to bluff.
The Game Plan
WHEN: September 23-25, 2026 | Trade Show: September 24 only
CEU'S: 15 hours will be submitted to NAB for approval, while 18 hours will be submitted to CE Broker. NAB does not approve the trade show for hours, which explains the discrepancy between the two.
WHERE: Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort | 777 Casino Dr, Cherokee, NC 28719
THEME: Hitting the Jackpot: Big Wins for Senior Care
What's in the Deck for You?
Flip through the brochure HERE and you'll find info on the three action-packed days designed to help you cash in on success:
- High-Stakes Networking: Connect face-to-face with top decision-makers and heavy hitters in the senior care industry.
- Ace-In-The-Hole Education: Learn from dynamic, heavyweight speakers delivering timely, relevant content that will leave you inspired and ready to win big for your community. WE ARE STILL ACCEPTING SPEAKER PROPOSALS, SO THE AGENDA WILL NOT BE FINALIZED UNTIL EARLY JULY.
- Max Out Your CEUs: Don't leave your licensing to chance! Secure 15 CE hours from the National Association of Boards (NAB) and 18 CEUs from the South Carolina Board of Long Term Health Care Administrators (SC BLTHCA).
