Southern Summit 6
Southern Summit is sponsored by the McColl School of Business at Queens University of Charlotte and Leadership Charlotte and receives significant support from Bank of America and the Goodrich Corporation.
Southern Summit brings together over 200 interesting and involved individuals from all walks of life in our region for a daylong program of discussion and interaction. Our program is modeled after the now nationally famous Hilton Head [Charleston] S.C. 'Renaissance Weekend.'
The Southern Summit has quickly grown into the premier annual gathering in Charlotte.
The Southern Summit will be an exciting day consisting of four 75-minute sessions divided into 24 separate panels. The panel topics can include discussions about the arts, business, religion, politics, relationships, travel, Charlotte, current events and more. Every attendee will participate as a panel member once during the day, and throughout the rest of the day participants will have the opportunity to attend their choice of panel discussions.
In addition, we will hold a lunch and evening cocktail panel where you will have the opportunity to listen to and share comments with well-known participants.
