Information

The Upstate is one of the fastest growing regions in the fastest growing state in the nation. As this growth continues, we have to tackle the challenge of how to move more people around to more places, more often.

Join us for the first-ever Upstate Mobility Summit on Thursday, May 16 from 1:30PM – 4:00PM at The Hangar at Runway Cafe, at the Downtown Greenville Airport, for a day filled with networking, discussions, and insights on the future of transportation in the upstate region. Hear from state and regional transportation leaders, and connect with peers, policymakers, and innovators as we explore new trends and technologies shaping the way we move about our region. Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity to be part of the conversation!

Light refreshments will be available throughout the Summit.

PLUS – your ticket includes full admission, and early access, to Ten at the Top’s fan-favorite “Blues, Brews & BBQ” starting immediately following the Summit, right outside on the tarmac of the airport featuring live music by Mac Arnold & Plate Full O’ Blues, a Tiny Bus Concert, food trucks, and more!
