Are you really into close-up magic? Maybe you’re secretly a trained tap dancer. Do you often rock karaoke and wish all of your colleagues knew how good you actually are? Well have we got some news for you!

Introducing the Scully Reception and Talent Show! With Tom Scully’s generous blessing, and the ongoing encouragement of Board member (and promised talent-show participant) Sarah Bohr, we are excited to bring you a new format for our post-General Session party. Instead of a ticketed dinner, we’re hosting a reception that’s open to all of our conference attendees, with entertainment provided by YOU!

If this seems like the moment you’ve been waiting for, sign up to perform today! Selected acts will take the stage on Wednesday, October 14, immediately following the General Session. Doors to the exhibitor space open at 5:00 PM for food and drinks, and the show kicks off shortly thereafter.

Whether you sing, juggle, do stand-up, or play an instrument, we want to see it! We’ll have a dance floor, piano, and sound system available for all of your performance needs (and if there’s something else you need, just let us know—we might be able to make some magic happen). This is a competitive event, and one lucky act will walk away with our new annual grand prize trophy. We’ll also be giving away exhibitor passport prizes throughout the night, so be sure you’re mixing and mingling with our generous exhibitors.

The Details:

• Deadline to apply to perform: September 4, 2026
• Eligibility: You must be a registered conference attendee to perform
• Content Rules: Keep it professional! All acts must be PG-rated and family-friendly

Available performance slots are limited to keep the show at 90 minutes. Selected entrants will be informed in early September.
