AI Conference for South Carolina
South Carolina's closest major AI conference — just across the state line in Charlotte, October 6–7, 2026.
AI Together Summit is a two-day AI conference held October 6–7, 2026 at the Parr Center in Charlotte, North Carolina — a short drive across the state line for much of South Carolina, and the closest major applied-AI event for the Upstate, Midlands, and Lowcountry.
Just across the line from the Upstate
Charlotte is only about an hour and a half from Greenville and Spartanburg up I-85, and a short drive for Rock Hill and Fort Mill — closer for many South Carolinians than any in-state AI event.
Coming from the Midlands (Columbia)
Columbia is roughly an hour and a half from Charlotte up I-77 — an easy same-day drive for state government, USC, and Midlands business teams.
Coming from the Lowcountry (Charleston)
Charleston is about three and a half hours by car, or a quick flight into Charlotte Douglas (CLT). Charleston's 'Silicon Harbor' tech community makes the trip worthwhile for teams building with AI.
South Carolina's AI & advanced-manufacturing scene
