Ten at the Top’s third annual PIQUE: Young Professionals Elevating the Upstate Summit presented by ScanSource is set for March 22 at Southern Bleachery. The summit focuses on the collaboration and connection of young professionals — ages 21-40 — in the 10 Upstate counties.

“This event has continued to grow each year and we are honored to have such great leaders participating,” said Dean Hybl, Ten at the Top’s executive director, in a news release. “It is wonderful to see our regional leaders investing in the leaders of tomorrow.”

Event workshop topics will include networking and professional relationships, driving innovation through engagement and inclusion, and navigating workplace politics.

“PIQUE is a place where young professionals engage in meaningful dialogue about how to join in building the region through professional, volunteer and civic engagement,” said John Lummus, president and CEO of Upstate SC Alliance, in the release. “It’s a great forum for discussion about the Upstate’s global economy. Our region has nearly 500 international companies representing 34 countries, and our panelists will share how their work intersects with the global economy on a daily basis.”

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.
