Annual Meeting

The 2025 SACSCOC Annual Meeting, held in Nashville, brought together colleagues around the theme, Finding Harmony: Transforming Challenges into Opportunities, for focused learning, meaningful exchange, and renewed momentum. The meeting was further energized by the President Pruitt’s First 100 Day Plan, which framed conversations around clarity, transparency, and a forward-looking vision for the work ahead. 

Our hope is that those who participated return to their institutions with greater confidence, practical insight, and a strengthened sense of purpose as they continue their important work. Thank you to our presenters, sponsors, partners, and attendees whose contributions made the Annual Meeting both impactful and memorable. We look forward to building on this momentum at a future meeting.

Planning will soon be underway for our 2026 Annual Meeting, and we’re using your feedback to make the experience even better, including a few surprises we think you’ll appreciate.

📍 Save the Date: December 5 – 8, 2026 | George R. Brown Convention Center | Houston, Texas
