Our 6th Annual Business Expo is one of the best business expos in the Southeast, and a great opportunity for you to:
- Showcase, promote, and grow your company — whether large or small - through sponsorship, networking, and vendor tables;
- Meet, network, and interact with our chamber members, executives/leaders from Native American Indian/tribally owned companies, and non-native owned companies that will complement your company — and enhance your ability to win commercial and government business/contracts.
The AICCSC has had the great fortune of securing Andy Wells, III, President and CEO of Wells Technology - and member of the Red Lake Band of the Ojibwa (also known as Chippewa) Indian Tribe - as the keynote speaker.
We are also very excited to announce that ISHPI Information Technologies, Inc., an award winning, Native American Indian and Service Disabled Veteran owned IT services provider, has signed on as our Title Sponsor. Other sponsors who have signed on thus far include: UIDA Business Services, Lockheed Martin, Skanska USA Building, Inc., BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina, Kotori Technologies, LLC, BMW Manufacturing Co., Barling Bay, LLC, and Dixon Hughes Goodman, CPA's. Many thanks to our prior Business Expo sponsors and participants, which represent some of the most prominent and respected members of the Charleston business community. See below for exciting sponsorship opportunities for our 2013 Business Expo.
