Wednesday, September 14, 2012 through Thursday, September 15, 2012
Register By Friday, August 20

For these two days the leadership of the Holly Springs Chamber of Commerce and the Business Community will gather to brainstorm and share ideas on significant topics such as economic development, technology, education, the business community's role in future growth and more.

We hope you take advantage of this opportunity to be part of the discussion on topics such as an alliance for quality growth, education from inside the classroom, the business community role in education, technology changing the way we live, work and play, and the changing work place environment.  The greatest benefit I always receive from attending a conference is the view of the trees in my own forest.  I simply can not see as much of the forest from the inside as I can from the outside.  I hope you can attend and enjoy the lively conversation with local and state business leaders who help shape our state, the region, Wake County, and Holly Springs.

Sponsorship opportunites are available for this event!
