New Carolina: South Carolina's Council on Competitiveness

Conversations are events hosted by New Carolina on economic competitiveness issues ranging from clusters to entrepreneurship.

We call them Conversations, because they are intended to bring a diverse mix of targeted participants from economic development, business and academia together in a two-way dialogue.

Conversations have a template: the structure of the meetings gives attendees a chance to learn, engage and participate in change related to specific issues. Every conversation includes a keynote address, a panel and a round table discussion or breakout session.

Here is a list of past Conversations.  Announcements on upcoming Conversations will be listed under Events.
