Preliminary Program PDF (23 Weeks Out!) now available. NOTE: This will be updated every two weeks (next update is Feb 15). SCUP will not be mailing this to members in compliance with our sustainability efforts. For best results, use a browser other than Safari to download this PDF.
As we embark on a new reality, it is imperative that we redefine our program array. What better a notion than "TBD" (To Be Determined)? Like our ability to plan, our focus for SCUP–45 will be nimble and adaptive.
