PALMETTO PANEL CONFERENCE RETURNS TO SC!
Ten years ago, when it came to government and governmental policy, most people were focused on national issues, but the founders of the Palmetto Panel Conference recognized that it was the policies at the state level of government that usually most impact citizens' lives. To that end, they hosted a full-day conference focused on issues vital to SC. Held at Clemson University, the Palmetto Panel Conference ran from 2015-2019 and provided solutions-oriented content in support of good governance.
Because states act as public policy laboratories and safeguard citizens against an overreaching national government, STATE POLICY MATTERS!
Today, with the emergence of AI, data centers, and rapid changes in energy, education, and healthcare, we believe a statewide conference is needed now more than ever, so it is with great excitement that we announce the return of the Palmetto Panel Conference, bringing in national speakers to once again present unique, solutions-oriented content.
Now centrally hosted in Columbia, Palmetto Panel 2026 will be a must-attend event for those who care deeply about the future direction of the Palmetto State.
Additionally, it will provide an excellent opportunity for citizens, elected officials, and group leaders from across the state to gather in person and build connection.
The day will end with a full panel discussion, offering YOU the opportunity to have your questions answered.
Please consider joining us for this one-day, non-partisan, thought-provoking and informative conference, with optional citizen civic training through the Center for Self Governance the following day.
