February 25, 2018

Ten at the Top (TATT) will host the third annual PIQUE: Young Professionals Elevating the Upstate Summit on March 22 from 1:15 p.m. to 5 p.m., with a networking reception to follow, at the Taylors Mill in Taylors, South Carolina. Approximately 200-300 young leaders from across the Upstate region are expected to be in attendance. Ten at the Top board members and executives representing Upstate businesses, local governments and community organizations will also be present.

“Ten at the Top is looking forward to hosting another exciting PIQUE: Young Professionals Elevating the Upstate Summit this year,” Dean Hybl, Ten at the Top’s Executive Director, said. “The Upstate region has grown to support an extensive young professional community and we are pleased to be able to annually convene an event that connects young professionals from across the region with each other as well as with more experienced Upstate leaders.”

This event focuses on the collaboration and connection of young professionals (ages 21-40) in the ten counties comprising the Upstate community. Ten at the Top aims to create an opportunity for young professionals to connect with one another across the Upstate, engage with Upstate business and community leaders and gain valuable personal and professional development opportunities as they will soon become regional leaders.

PIQUE ’18 will feature four workshops, a panel on globalism in the Upstate, an executive roundtable and a networking reception with opportunities to connect with Upstate business and community leaders. Attendees will have the opportunity to choose their personal agenda between multiple workshops as well as coordinated networking opportunities to meet with an executive in their respective industry or interest area to discuss relevant insights and the attendee’s professional goals.

PIQUE tickets cost $25 and may be purchased here. Advanced registration is required, and space is limited.

Following the event programming, 13 Stripes Brewery will host the networking reception and Cribb’s Catering will cater the reception. Tickets include two drinks at 13 Stripes Brewery for attendees 21 and older.

In the spirit of collaboration, young professional organizations that promote PIQUE to its members will receive $5 of each ticket sold to members of that partner organization to help fund its programming and events.
