Thirty-nine people attended the first SWCA-Alabama Conference held at Samford University on January 25, 2013. Upon arrival, each person was given a name tag that included the words Group A or Group B, and a conference program outlining the day's events (each program also contained a number to be used for door prizes at the end of the day). The day started off with a keynote address by Dr. Glenda Conway, an English Professor at the University of Montevallo. From there, workshops and presentations were delivered for each group throughout the day; each group also ate lunch together. At the end of the day, all participants reunited for a gift drawing of several door prizes that had been donated by various writing centers in the state. Door prizes included two small journal notebooks, a Starbucks gift card (or two), a copy of Strunk & White's Elements of Style, and the literary journal from the University of Montevallo, called The Tower.
