SNCURCS 2026 will be co-hosted by The University of North Carolina at Charlotte (location) and Central Piedmont Community College on November 7.

Travel: When navigating to campus, use the address:  8845 Craver Road, Charlotte, NC 28223.  The onsite events will take place on the campus of UNC Charlotte in the Popp-Martin Student Union (on Craver Rd next to the University Recreation Center), and in Mebane Hall and CHHS Building (both across the street from the Student Union).

Check-in: Badge pick up will occur on the first floor of the Student Union.  Badges for students will be organized by institution.  We ask that the campus representative pick up the envelope for their institution and distribute badges to students. Family members, exhibitors, and VIP guests will pick up badges at a separate table.

Parking: The parking garage behind the Student Union will be open for guests.  Bus, Coach, and Van parking will be in the surface lot #5 on the east side of campus.  We recommend dropping off on craver road and looping back around to park taller vehicles that will not fit in the garage.
