USPC Equine Symposium & Convention

Attending the USPC Annual Convention Will Help You:
Increase Your Organization's Profile
The USPC Annual Convention is the perfect opportunity to make connections with other leaders and members. Not only will you be increasing your own network, but as a representative of your organization, you will increase its profile within the community. You’ll be able to represent your local or regional organization at presentations, panel discussions, roundtables, receptions, and other informal and social events.

Become a More Effective Advocate for USPC
The theme for the 2017 USPC Annual Convention is California Dreamin’. While there, you’ll meet leaders and members from around the nation who share your interests and passion and are dreamin’ of a great Pony Club year. Exchange ideas during the meeting and learn new strategies for promoting Pony Club and all that it has to offer.

Expand Your Network
The USPC Annual Convention offers numerous networking opportunities, at sessions and discussion groups, informal conversations, and receptions and tours. Although not formally structured or scheduled, most often the best experiences and ideas come from exchanges made in between sessions and other meetings.

Bring Back What You’ve Learned
By supporting your attendance, your club/center/region is showing its clear commitment to leadership development and continuous learning. Perhaps there is a burning issue for your members, or something about which you feel you should know more. Study the program to compile a list of sessions to attend on behalf of your club/center/region and consider how you will share the information afterwards.

Rejuvenate Your Commitment and Advance Your Club/Center/Region’s Goals
Consider your own interests and identify sessions that will directly enhance your own education and development. There are many opportunities for personal growth and development during the USPC Annual Convention.

Refresh Your Strategies for Education and Leadership
Many of the sessions will provide practical ideas that can be taken straight back to the club/center/region. Not only will your members benefit from fresh new approaches, but by sharing the ideas with others you know, all of their members will benefit too.

Keep Your Club, Center or Region's Resources Cutting-Edge
The USPC Annual Convention will feature many resources. Allow some time to browse the exhibits to discover the latest. Make a list of interesting things to recommend to your club/center/region.
