Part I: Economic Development Forum

4:00 - 5:30pm | Lumina Theater

What’s next for our community’s built environment and economic vitality? Hear directly from leading developers, planners, and local economic development directors during a dynamic panel discussion on redevelopment projects and investment updates across Greater Chapel Hill-Carrboro.

We'll explore the challenges and opportunities ahead—and unpack how public-private partnerships can shape a thriving, inclusive economy.

Speaker details coming soon.

Immediately following the forum, join us for a lighthearted networking reception to honor the contributions of our elected and senior government officials. Enjoy refreshments, conversation, and community connections on the Southern Village green as we celebrate the vital partnerships between the public and private sectors that help our region thrive.

This annual tradition is hosted in collaboration with The Chamber’s Government Affairs Committee, the Carrboro Business Alliance Policy Committee, and the Black Business Alliance Leadership Council.
