DATE
SET
for FY2014 ANNUAL SCIP MEETING
and Member Forum
in Nashville
Since the registrations for the hotels in
Nashville are filling up fast, the SCIP board decided to
establish a date for the Annual Meeting at Construct2013 earlier
than usual. The consensus of the Board is to hold the meeting on
Monday, September 23, 2013.
This schedule worked well in Phoenix in 2012 and is expected to
be the best choice again this year. Additional details will be
posted here as soon as they are available. |

A s an experiment,
the annual meeting was
broadcast live, recorded on video, and stored privately
on the Internet using Google+ Hangout. To view it, visit
http://www.youtube.com/user/SCIPspecifiers.
The audio and video are not the best, but it served the
purpose of demonstrating the possibility of engaging other
members who were not able to attend to someday participate in
the proceedings.
