GrowCo has announced the Fifth Annual Growth Summit, which is taking place on November 19th. The Growth Summit is an event for people that want to grow themselves, their company, and their network. This unique event brings together the most forward-thinking minds in South Carolina to learn from experts on how to better yourself and your business.

Learning from those who have been where we want to go is paramount to the success of the local economy.” said Matt Vaadi, CEO of ERG Payroll & HR and creator of the event.
