Now open to all conference attendees, the Scully Reception is going full variety show.

Tom Scully started the tradition of gathering folks together at each conference for good food, good drinks, and a chance to meet colleagues you’d otherwise just nod at in the hallway. This year, we’re throwing the doors open to all attendees, because the more of you in the room, the better the networking (and the better the show).

We’re asking all of you to drag out those hidden talents and keep us entertained throughout the evening! The deadline to sign-up to perform is fast approaching!

NOSSCR Board Member Freddie Effinger, a person of a truly suspicious range of talents, has graciously agreed to serve as our talent show emcee, so we know the stage will be warm, inviting, and filled with fun, but we need more of you to step up and share what we know is a hidden trove of talents.

So please friends, do NOT make us pull out the kazoo solos, the interpretive PowerPoint readings, or whatever “spoken word about vocational testimony” bit someone’s threatening to do. We know some of you are sitting on genuine, real, “wait, you can DO that?” talent. This is your night. Please join us.

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
