The 5th Annual Carolinas AGC (CAGC) Summer Summit and Expo will be held this week at the Myrtle Beach Marriott Resort & Spa at Grande Dunes from Thursday, July 27 to Sunday, July 30. Conference organizers cite numerous reasons for attending — great educational sessions, special events that provide attendees quality networking, opportunities for suppliers to showcase their business or services, and the beach! The event is nearly sold out, but there is still time to register.
