A FREE Informational Webinar

Thursday January 22, 2026

FREE For SCVMA Members

It was over a decade since the last recession, and many (pessimists) are suggesting we are in or heading into another one in 2026. With a recession comes a drop in clients and decreased spending from existing clients. We saw this in the last recession, and we learned a lot from that experience. Using historical data and real-life stories, Darren will share field tested programs and procedures to help you make your practice recession proof. And, if we can avoid a recession, the programs and procedures will make your practice better.
