Agenda

Agenda PD103-2026

 

Hotel Accommodations:

SCCID pays the basic lodging room cost for attendees (non-faculty) booked through SCCID and traveling more than 50 miles. (Please specify lodging needs when registering.)  Faculty members (self-pay) may also request accommodations when registering for PD103 to get the group (state) rate.

Where are we staying?  We will be staying at the Springhill Suites downtown near the courthouse.  (See map below.)

Hotel Parking:  Hotel Self-Parking is in the South Spring Street Garage across the street from the hotel.  Click here for Parking Garage Fees and Info.  Parking IS NOT included with the room, so you will need to seek reimbursement pursuant to your regular office policies.  The hotel also offers valet parking for $28.00/day. 

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS - Checkout Wednesday:  We will need to check out of the hotel Wednesday morning.  If you don't feel comfortable leaving your luggage in your car, you can ask the hotel to hold your luggage.

 

COMMUTER PARKING: 

Unfortunately, the courthouse does not have all-day parking.  The best place to park will be the Commons Garage at 60 Beattie Place, Greenville, SC, adjacent to the Hyatt Hotel and across the street from the Courthouse.  Click here for Parking Garage Fees and Info.

 

LUNCH:  Lunch will be on-your-own.  If you're not familiar with downtown Greenville, here is a non-exhaustive list of lunch options in downtown Greenville.

 

MONDAY EVENING SOCIAL:  Carolina Ale House Logo Social Gathering Monday evening from 6 – 8 pm at Carolina Ale House 113 South Main Street.  We will be upstairs in the private front room.  SCCID will provide food.  Cash bar.


 

Well, that all sounds like fun, but what about the Workshop?
