Top Five Frequently Asked Conference Questions

What is the dress code? ANYTHING GOES

There is no set dress code for the Conference. Most attendees wear jeans or slacks. Because conditions can vary due to air conditioning, a sweater or sweatshirt is strongly advised. Meals will be outside, and it will be warm for breakfast and lunch. Things may cool off in the evening while we're outside for dinner. So, it's important to prepare for that, as well. 

I'm coming to Phoenix early/staying late. Are folks meeting up for dinner on Thursday or Sunday? YES 

• On Thursday, join us on the patio at the onsite restaurant Aunt Chilada's anytime between 5:30-8:30 p.m. for a meet and greet. No RSVP needed! 
• If you are staying through Sunday night, join us at Rustler's Rooste. This fun, cowboy-themed restaurant is onsite and available via a free van ride. Email us to let us know you're coming: contactus@pscpartners.org.

These events are not covered in the registration fee. Everyone will order on their own from the menu and cover their individual bills.  

I heard the theme of the Saturday Night Gala is Roaring 20s. Do I need a costume? YES and NO

While costumes are not required, they are highly encouraged. Some folks choose to stay lowkey when choosing an outfit while others go all out! Additionally, we created a unique, festive 20th Anniversary t-shirt for purchase in the Conference shop. Your chosen attire is completely up to you, but plan to have a rip-roaring fun time, especially because karaoke is making a comeback at this year's Gala. 

Are there pools and a waterpark at the Arizona Grand Resort? YES

In addition to numerous pools located throughout the resort, there is a waterpark with slides and a lazy river. Upon check in at the resort front desk, you will be issued a wrist band for admittance into the resort's Oasis Water Park.

What happens if I don't have enough energy to make it through a whole day? NO PROBLEM

Nobody understands being tired and worn out quite like the PSC community. There is no penalty for missing a lecture and no problem if you need to be excused during one. As long as you don’t create a disruption for the speaker or those who are enjoying the presentations, you can enter and leave the rooms as needed. There also are designated spots for rest and relaxation throughout the venue. Plus, you can easily hop on a golf cart and ask to be taken back to your room at any time.
