FCS: Learning, Adapting, Solving Problems with AI
SCAFCS 2025 CONFERENCE
Springhill Suites in downtown Greenville SC
February 20-21, 2025
We are planning an incredible SCAFCS 2025 Conference. The Tentative Program and Registration Forms will be available shortly. Make your plans to attend and learn how to implement AI to assist in your various professional applications, explore the many components of FCS updates that make this profession so versatile and unique, and network with students and professionals from South Carolina and the South-Eastern region. Put it on your calendar to lock in your plans to attend now. We can't wait to develop this avenue of discussion as we seek to impact individuals, families, and communities for the good.
Once you have determined to attend, print the Registration Form and either send it in "Snail Mail," or come back to fill out the online registration when it is posted in a week or so to add your information for registration. Online payment will then be available as well for you or your employer to submit payment.
