Join us for an engaging and informative event focused on the economic growth and opportunities shaping Beaufort County and South Carolina. This special gathering will bring together economic development leaders from across the state to share insights, success stories, and strategies that are driving investment, job creation, and community vitality.

Through panel discussions, local success spotlights, and interactive Q&A sessions, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how economic development works, what it means for our region, and how Beaufort County is collaborating with partners at the state and regional level to build a stronger, more resilient economy.
