Without getting overly detailed, SCARS also has had a hospitality session which goes from ~8p-11pm on Sunday-Thursday where people can nibble on niblets (but really, if you come to the dinners, you really only need the niblets on Sunday and Monday) consume beverages, network and talk with old friends, and new, and perhaps even participate in Karaoke on one or more nights.
Cut off is at 11 pm though so that everyone can get some rest and fully participate in the training presentations, which are typically of high quality.
