Can I have a guest drop into Monday's General Session during the School Communicator of the Year award presentation, then leave before the keynote speaker?
We understand that friends and family may want to be present to see someone they know recognized during the School Communicator of the Year (SCOY) chapter winner presentation. While SCOY finalists are welcome to bring a guest as part of their recognition (see above), we’re unfortunately not able to accommodate additional guests or guests of non-finalists in the General Session. To ensure a smooth experience for everyone and meet required security protocols, only registered Seminar participants with badges may attend. Thank you for your understanding!
