The President’s Gala & Awards Presentation is an affair you won’t want to miss – in fact, it’s the event of the Convention! Your fellow members are acknowledged for their selfless contributions to the SAIA and outstanding achievements within the scaffold and access industry. During this event, recipients of the Association and Project Awards are announced and recognized with peers.
Each year we have an event theme and while you are not required to dress to the part, we encourage you to join in on the fun.
2026 Theme & Attire:
Denim and Diamonds
Slip into your favorite denim, shine up your diamonds, and get ready for an unforgettable Denim & Diamonds celebration. Enjoy an evening filled with recognition, live music, entertainment, networking, and plenty of Nashville charm. Whether you’re dressed head-to-toe in denim and diamonds or simply adding a touch of country flair, join us for a night of great company, memorable moments, and music that will keep the celebration going.
No change of attire is needed! Your Denim & Diamonds look will carry seamlessly into our Midnight Vinyl Lounge After Party, where the music spins late, the atmosphere comes alive, and the celebration continues.
*A ticket will be required for entrance to the event, which is included with the full convention attendee registration fee and primary exhibitor registration fee. Individual tickets to the event can be purchased onsite if available.
