🤝 Where Business Leadership & Consulting Expertise Connect
Local Business Leader Reception

Registration: $45 (Fee for non-conference attendees only)
Includes drinks, appetizers and a copy of the book: Consulting to Technical Leaders, Teams, and Organizations.
Great ideas often start with a great conversation. Join the Society of Consulting Psychology (SCP) for a special reception bringing together San Diego-area business leaders, executives, and organizational professionals with consulting psychologists from across the country. This relaxed, one-hour networking event is designed to create connections between the people leading organizations and the professionals who study, advise, and help organizations and their people thrive.
Enjoy drinks and appetizers while exchanging ideas, expanding your network, and connecting with professionals who share an interest in leadership, people, teams, workplace culture, technology, organizational effectiveness, and see examples of their work.
Make a Connection. Start a Conversation. Take Home a New Idea.
Our 2027 Annual Conference theme is: Human-Centered Consulting: Bridging Perspectives, Advancing Practice
We can think of no better way to bring that theme to life than by connecting consulting professionals with the business leaders putting these ideas into practice every day. Whether you come to meet new people, exchange perspectives, explore a business challenge, or simply see what SCP is all about, we’d love to have you join us.
🎟️ Your Invitation Goes Beyond the Reception
Reception guests will also be eligible for a special discounted registration rate for the SCP Annual Conference. Stay and experience conference sessions exploring topics relevant to today’s organizations, including leadership, people and teams, technology, workplace challenges, and organizational effectiveness. Join us for good conversation, new connections, and ideas you can bring back to your organization. Your next great idea—or connection—might start here.
