2023 Summit A Huge Success!

With over 830 attendees, the 2023 Summit & Expo was our best yet! We appreciate everyone who made this event the success that it was -- our presenting sponsors Bradley, McGriff and FORVIS, our many supporting sponsors, our 50 exhibitors, our 830+ attendees, all of our staff members, and the Grove Park Hotel. Without each of you, this event would never be as wonderful as it is! 

We can't wait to see you next year, August 1 - 4 at the Marriott Resort Myrtle Beach Grand Dunes. Registration will open in Spring 2024. 

We look forward to sharing more photos and video with you the week of August 7!

Don't take our word for it! Members say it best!

Thank you for a “job very well done” on the 2023 Summer Summit in Asheville.  No matter what your role in the event may have been, it was very apparent to me that the “Team” pulled of an amazing event. Also, I’m very aware that to pull off the summer summit event so seamlessly, a lot of thought, planning, organizing, and sweat and hard work was involved – more than anyone that attended the event will ever know. Thank you for a job well done!

"Having traveled the country and attended many state AGC functions, I can honestly say that the Carolinas AGC is the best! The CAGC Summer Summit is far and away my most highly anticipated event all year. The contractors who attend their events are some of the nicest and friendliest people you will ever have the pleasure of working with. And, the staff at the CAGC is the most highly organized and professional group of any AGC I have ever worked with." John Cappello, Regional Sales Manager, HCSS
