We Hit
the Jackpot.
Thank you for making it an unforgettable three days in Cherokee, NC.
From SCALA
Thank You for Going All In
What an incredible three days at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort. The 2026 SCALA Fall Convention exceeded every expectation — from our inspiring keynote with Loretta Woodward Veney, to the awards luncheon, to the energy on the trade show floor.
To our attendees: you are the reason we do this. The connections made, the ideas exchanged, and the dedication you bring to South Carolina’s seniors every single day make this industry extraordinary.
To our exhibitors and sponsors: your support makes this event possible and we are deeply grateful. The trade show floor was buzzing, and your creativity and enthusiasm made it one to remember.
We’re already looking forward to seeing you again. Watch for announcements about our 2027 Spring Conference and next year’s Fall Convention!
“Moving caregivers from ‘I Give Up’ to ‘I Got This’ — that’s the work you do every single day for South Carolina’s seniors.”— Loretta Woodward Veney, Keynote Speaker
