Wellness@SC

Comfort dogs

Room TBD

Wellness@SC is supporting a therapy dog initiative to promote mental and physical well-being for all attendees. We are proud to partner with Canine Therapy Corps of Chicago to bring certified therapy dogs and volunteer handlers to SC.

Animal assisted therapy programs can help improve physical and psychological health by enhancing mood, providing emotional support, reducing stress, and encouraging social connection and engagement.

Comfort dogs will be available to all SC attendees at designated times throughout the week.

SC Steps Challenge

McCormick Place, Room W186a

This initiative will engage and encourage participants to reach or exceed their walking goals during the conference and promote healthy habits that reduce stress and bolster physical health.

The SC Steps Challenge theme this year is “Journey Through Middle-Earth”. Participants can enter individually or unite as a “Fellowship” to complete daily, week-long, and overall step goals to reach destinations in Middle-Earth.

Daily leaderboards will showcase participants and fellowships that are reaching their goals (planned to be served through the SC26 Mobile App). Open to all attendees.

Full participation details to come.

Art Room

McCormick Place, Room W187a

Back this year by popular demand, the Art Room is stocked with various art supplies and small projects to give participants a creative space for short breaks, to engage with other participants, and recharge during the conference.

The art room is available for all SC attendees for the duration of the conference.

Activity Classes

McCormick Place, Room W187a

Wellness@SC is excited to offer a variety of activities that support physical well-being and social engagement.

Morning movement sessions will help attendees start their day in a healthy, energizing, and engaging way, preparing them to tackle the day ahead. Open to all SC attendees. Come join throughout the week and move with us.
