2022 Upstate Summit

    A biennial event to reaffirm the value of “thinking regionally”

    Upstate Summit: Focus on the Future!

    The Purpose of the Upstate Summit

    The mission of Ten at the Top is to encourage collaboration and partnerships on cross- sector and cross-jurisdiction issues that impact economic vitality and quality of life in the Upstate region. Typically held every other year, the Upstate Summit that was originally scheduled for 2020, has been rescheduled to May 10, 2022 due to the pandemic. While the Summit typically brings together between 800-1,000 stakeholders from across the Upstate, to ensure the health and safety of attendees during the ongoing pandemic, we are currently planning to limit on-site attendance to 500 people (which could be adjusted up or down as we get closer depending on the current health protocols).

    As we continue to address the health, economic and quality of life issues impacted by the pandemic, we are especially curious about what the short and long-term future holds for our communities, businesses, and residents. Helping us explore this important question will be a series of guest speakers and breakout sessions all with an eye towards the future. Our keynote speaker will be author Richard Florida, who has written several best-selling books and has also penned several recent articles looking at the impacts of the pandemic.
