About this Event
Join PWCC for our Annual Confernce at the Penn Stater Hotel and Conference Center, on October 14th thru 16th, 2026.
Here's what's in store:
Wednesday — Early arrivals, this one's for you! Members and their guests who come in Wednesday afternoon can join us for a special early-arrival event (TBA — and free for Members!). In years past, these have been some of the most memorable parts of the conference — think Quizzo nights full of laughs and our unforgettable Haunted Bus Tour. You won't want to miss whatever we have cooked up for 2026!
Thursday — The conference officially kicks off at 11 AM with Roundtable Discussions featuring PWCC Board Members and Special Guests. This is where you can bring your specific questions to industry experts face to face! We'll cap off the day with our Welcome Reception Thursday evening.
Friday — A full program of Educational Sessions to round out the conference.
We can't wait to see you there!
