There is also a vendor showcase to meet delegates during registration, lunch and an afternoon break. The Wokefield Estate event presents an opportunity to get in front of the salesforces in order to ensure they are aware of SCC’s vendor products and services to enable them to engage customers and deliver sales opportunities. The event will take place at Wokefield Place located on the Wokefield Estate on Friday 29th November 2019. We look forward to welcoming you to the event, which hopes to be a success. Dress Code: For the daytime event please wear smart/casual attire – no ripped jeans or sports based footwear. For the evening event please dress to impress. It is not a black tie event this year. As a Socially Responsible business we would encourage you to car share, reducing the number of cars travelling to the venue. Car parking is free, park near Wokefield Place, see the parking areas on the map below. For those that are staying overnight if you do not want to leave your luggage in your cars then please take it to Wokefield Place with you and Wokefield Park staff will store the luggage for you until check in. For the x2 dinner guests you will be required to sign a registration card on arrival, this means that after the last vendor session has ended at the end of the day you will be able to go to the Wokefield Place reception and pick up your keys as the registration card will mean they have already checked you in. Vendor training sessions will commence at 10.15am so please ensure you have set up your allocated room beforehand. Lunch will be at 12.30. Your last session will need to end promptly at 16.30pm. The VIP Christmas Party will commence at 19.00pm in the Wokefield Suite and will finish around 01.00am including food, drinks and entertainment.
