SCAC Annual Conference and Institute of Government

The Association’s 2023 Annual Conference will be held July 31-August 3, 2023, at the Wild Dunes Resort on Isle of Palms. In order to receive the lowest room rate for county officials, the conference schedule has been modified. County officials will receive conference and hotel registration information including details on accommodation options in early spring. The room block at Wild Dunes will open to county officials after they have registered for the Institute of Government and/or the Annual Conference. The room block will not open before this time.
