🏇 The Countdown is ON! 🌹

We are just days away from the SCALA Spring Conference & Trade Expo! We can’t wait to welcome everyone to the Columbia Metro Convention Center this Wednesday and Thursday, April 29th & 30th. Trade expo is April 30th only.

📢 Important Final Updates:

• Check Your Inbox: Final confirmations were sent to all attendees and exhibitors last week. Please double-check your email for your registration details and arrival information.

• Registration is officially CLOSED: We are officially at maximum capacity and cannot accept further registrations. Thank you for such an incredible response! We have them receiving a lot of calls this week and unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate any more registrants.
We’ve put a lot of work into this year’s "Run for the Roses" theme, and we are ready for a fantastic couple of days of networking, education, and advocacy for the assisted living community.

See you all very soon!

Silent Auction at Risk — We Need Your Support! 🚨

The South Carolina Assisted Living Association’s Spring Conference Silent Auction is currently at risk of being canceled due to a low number of donated items.

This auction is one of the most anticipated highlights of our Spring Conference. Attendees love bidding on the incredible items donated by our valued vendor and community partners — and it’s a powerful marketing opportunity for your business.

✨ Why Donate?
• Your company logo is displayed prominently with your auction item
• Direct exposure to assisted living owners, administrators, and decision-makers
• Recognition as a proud supporter of SCALA and our industry

We urgently need donations to keep this beloved conference tradition alive.

All items must be submitted by April 17.

If you’ve been considering donating, now is the time. Your contribution makes a difference — not just for the auction, but for the education and event initiatives we plan.

📩 Contact us today to pledge your donation.

Let’s work together to ensure the Silent Auction remains a highlight of our Spring Conference!

Reach out if you would like to donate. Thank you for the consideration!
