The event will take place at Southern Bleachery, located at 250 Mill Street in Taylors. Registration and networking begin at 1:15 p.m. with various workshops throughout the afternoon, including Creighton’s at 3:35 p.m.

The Young Professional Development and Success workshop discusses the importance of young professional development and methods to achieve success early in a person’s career.
