Past Conventions

Each year since 1967, SCI has hosted an annual convention held throughout the USA as well as Germany. Conventions consist of lectures, workshops, stein sales room, members stein auction, and usually a large commercial stein auction. Conventions also provide the once-a-year opportunity to convene the Board of Trustees, report to the membership, conduct elections of officers, and recognize members’ contributions. Chapters volunteer as hosts and are responsible for planning the convention events and program.
