NC Boards & Commissions Conference
About this Event
North Carolina's boards and commissions make decisions that shape how people work, build, and do business across the state. But the people doing that work rarely get the chance to compare notes.
Progress in Practice brings together members and staff from licensing, permitting, and titling boards, commissions, and state agencies for a full day focused on what's actually working. Sessions cover practical applications of AI and emerging technology in regulatory operations, workforce and licensure trends shaping the pipeline, legislative and policy updates, and peer conversations about the operational challenges every board is navigating.
This is a working day, not a showcase. Expect candid discussion, applicable takeaways, and time to build relationships with counterparts you'd otherwise only meet by email.
