The Charleston region continues to produce rapidly growing organizations across a range of industries, earning national recognition along the way.

But what happens between ambition and earning a spot on the Inc. 5000?

At Impact: The Road from Opportunity to Business Growth, we’ll take a closer look at what it takes for businesses to build strong foundations, find new opportunities and prepare for their next stage of growth. We’ll also explore why creating and growing businesses is important to our region’s economy and how the Chamber’s Business Opportunity platform is helping companies launch, grow and succeed.

Willis Cantey, Founder and CEO of Cantey Tech, will offer a firsthand perspective on growth, sharing lessons from the company’s experience and the decisions that helped Cantey Tech earn a place on the 2026 Inc. 5000.

To close out the morning, we’ll recognize the Chamber members named among the fastest-growing private companies in the country and celebrate their contributions to our region.
