Mount Pleasant’s largest networking event returns: Build your business at the 16th Annual EXPO
September 1, 2026
Mount Pleasant’s largest networking event is back, bigger than ever, and completely packed out. Presented by Crews Subaru, the 16th Annual Mount Pleasant Chamber of Commerce (MPCC) Business & Community EXPO takes over the Omar Shrine Convention Center at Patriots Point on Thursday, September 17, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
For the second straight year, demand from the local business community has shattered records, selling out all exhibitor booths well ahead of the event. While the show floor is officially capped, the real opportunity shifts to the thousands of attendees expected to walk through the doors—and this year, coming out is easier and more rewarding than ever.
Admission to the EXPO is FREE and open to the entire public.
“We are honored to serve as the presenting sponsor of the Mount Pleasant Expo once again,” said Ken French of Crews Subaru. “Seeing the show floor sell out completely for a second year in a row proves just how strong and vibrant our local business community is, and Crews Subaru is honored to help drive that momentum.”
Organizers have lined up a slate of free perks to make attending a seamless experience:
- Mount Pleasant Mayor Will Haynie will officially open the EXPO by leading a festive parade of local mascots.
- FREE Admission & FREE Swag: Explore hundreds of interactive business displays, pick up giveaways, and sample local offerings at no cost.
- FREE Job Fair: Connect face to face with top local employers actively hiring across the area.
- FREE Health Screenings: Take advantage of complimentary skin cancer screenings provided by healthcare sponsor Waccamaw Dermatology.
- FREE Parking & Shuttle Service: Enjoy free parking paired with complimentary shuttle service by official golf cart sponsor Botero Carts.
Whether you are looking to advance your career, discover local service providers, grow your personal network, or take advantage of free health resources, the 2026 Expo offers something for every Lowcountry resident.
