Placemaking and Prosperity: Sustaining the Upstate’s Momentum
Tuesday, March 3, 2026


Growth has transformed the Upstate into a globally connected economy. But sustaining momentum requires balance, foresight, and collaboration. Drawing from local success stories and national comparisons, site selection consultant Didi Caldwell will show how strategic economic development enriches communities, creates opportunity for the next generation, and ensures the Upstate thrives in decades to come.

The Annual Meeting is the largest annual event for the Upstate SC Alliance, a nonprofit regional economic development organization that works to build a region where business thrives and people can prosper. Event attendance averages 700+ leaders from the public sector and private business across the 10-county Upstate region.
