All CE for the events are submitted directly through the SSC Club Connect App.
The process is quick and designed to keep everything organized for you. At the conclusion of every eligible session, a completion code will be shared by the speaker or moderator.
How to Submit CE :
You may submit as many completion codes as needed — just be sure to enter one code per session and complete the required session evaluation for each submission.
CE Delivery:
At the end of each day, you’ll receive one PDF CE certificate by email that includes all CE earned to date. Each new day’s submissions are added to your previous credits, ensuring your certificate is always cumulative and up to date.
January in Scottsdale typically brings sunny days around 65–70°F and cooler evenings that can dip to 45–50°F. We recommend packing layers, including a light jacket or sweater, for both indoor air-conditioned spaces and our outdoor evening events.
Dress Code:
Business casual is ideal for all daytime sessions.
Evening Experiences:
Thursday – Sunset Sophistication
Our elegant poolside celebration kicks off Symposium under the Arizona sky. Dress in chic, resort-style attire. Light fabrics, smart-casual pieces, and shoes suitable for an outdoor setting. It’s a stylish night designed to surprise and delight.
Friday – An Evening at Your Leisure
This night is yours. Enjoy a relaxing evening however you choose. Dinner with friends, exploring Scottsdale, or a quiet night in. There’s no scheduled event, so feel free to dress comfortably and unwind.
Saturday – Western Magic at Mummy Mountain
Close out Symposium with an unforgettable night of rustic fun. Western-inspired attire is encouraged. Think denim, boots, fringe, and layers for the desert evening chill. The event is outdoors, so comfortable shoes are a must.
Materials and Essentials:
Notebooks and pens will be provided. Don’t forget business cards for networking…and leave a little space in your luggage for a few memorable surprises.
Upon arrival, please stop by the Symposium registration desk at the JW Marriott Camelback Inn to collect your name badge and event materials.
