A driver’s license or photo ID is required for on-site registration. On-site registration hours will be Friday-Sunday beginning at 7 a.m. CT.
Is registration required for all sessions?
Yes, registration is required for every session so proper accommodations may be provided and education credit can be recorded.
What if I have an emergency and can’t attend?
All registration fees are non-refundable. A full registration may be transferred, before the event, to another individual or to another live TCA-sponsored course or event within the same calendar year by written request submitted to operations@tnchiro.com.
Except as otherwise announced by TCA for a TCA-initiated postponement or cancellation, or as required by law, transfers may not be carried into the following calendar year. Failure to utilize an approved transfer constitutes forfeiture of fees.
Do I need a name badge at SCC?
A badge is required for all CE sessions, events and exhibits. If you have lost or misplaced your badge, please go to the registration desk in the conference center for a replacement. A driver’s license or picture ID is required to get a badge. Lost or exchanged badges are subject to a $25 fee.
Will I receive session/event tickets?
Most SCC events are “ticketless”, we use event badge systems instead of issuing paper tickets for education sessions. Just present your badge for scanning at each session or SCC event.
However, tickets may be issued for some luncheons/social events.
How are CE credits calculated at the SCC?
Badges are scanned at various times throughout each day. Continuing education credit is calculated based upon these scan times.
Only sessions denoted as CE sessions will be eligible for continuing education credits. (See website for details.) Please be sure to verify your state is listed on the approved CE list.
Will the CE credits earned at the SCC count towards my license renewal?
The Tennessee Chiropractic Association (TCA), sponsor of the SCC, is recognized by the PACE program of the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards. The current term of approval extends through December 2027. Please reference the latest list of states that recognize PACE.
CE credit will be applied for in AL, AR, FL, GA, KY, MS and NC. As approvals are received, that information will be posted here.
If you wish to receive credit for one of these states, or a state that accepts courses offered by PACE-recognized providers, please notify the TCA in advance.
Please adhere to your state’s specific licensing requirements as some exclusions may apply.
How is my attendance verified for my CE certificate?
Your badge will be scanned at each session or event to capture date and time stamp information. SCC CE information will be uploaded by the TCA to CE Broker for all Tennessee-licensed attendees.* Only sessions approved for CE will be included on your CE certificate. Continuing education certificates will be available via your TCA account within 14 business days.
*Please allow at least 14 business days and then log-in to your CE Broker account to verify that your hours are reflected accurately. If you should have a concern or question, please contact the TCA.
Will the SCC provide session handouts?
In a continued effort to minimize paper waste, links to access electronic notes will be emailed to pre-registrants, as permitted by each speaker, prior to the event.*
If no email has been received by one week prior to SCC, please email our office at tca@tnchiro.com. You may wish to check your SPAM folder as sometimes the email will go there. Electronic notes will remain available for download after SCC for a limited time.
*If you wish to have these materials to reference onsite during the sessions please be sure to download and/or print them in advance.
Where is the EXPO and who is exhibiting?
The SCC EXPO will be in Salon 5 . This is where you’ll discover the latest chiropractic products, services and techniques; plus SCC EXPO specials and prize drawings. You can get your questions answered, talk with product representatives, and see what’s new in the industry. It’s all at the SCC EXPO – Tennessee’s largest chiropractic expo!
The SCC would not be possible without the participation of these companies. We ask you to please walk the EXPO, stop by and say hello and see what they have to offer your practice. Your support makes a difference!
