NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Due to the impact on traveling and in-person meetings caused by the pandemic and hurricane season, the Inaugural 2021 Southern Industrial Conference (“SIC”) will now be held 100% online. Originally the Conference was scheduled to be held in-person in New Orleans. The 2022 event is planned to be in-person at the Ritz-Carlton New Orleans next spring and additional details will be provided in early 2022.
This new symposium will feature a series of five virtual presentations on Wednesday, October 13, 2021 that will discuss economic development and growth opportunities as well as key issues facing both private and public companies in the industrial sector of the southern U.S. economy. Expert advisors will share their insight on exciting economic development and growth opportunities as well as critical issues facing the sector.
The U.S. economy is experiencing unprecedented post-pandemic growth plus the state and federal sectors are investing significant funds in infrastructure and energy-transition projects. The discussions will provide a wide range of information to help all sized companies in the sector learn more about those opportunities as well as other ways to grow, improve and market their companies. Registrants will be able to ask questions at the conclusion of each session.
Registration for the Southern Industrial Conference is directed to business owners, management teams, business advisors and family business stakeholders of industrial companies. There is no cost for this virtual event, but you must register through our web site, www.SouthernIndustrialConference.com to participate.
