The Advocates: Join the Chamber in Washington D.C. to Champion the Charleston Region

We’re excited to invite you to join us for the 2025 DC Fly-In, taking place July 22–24 in Washington, D.C. This annual event is a cornerstone of our advocacy efforts, bringing together business and civic leaders to directly engage with federal policymakers on the issues that matter most to our region.

This year marks a significant milestone as we partner with the Greenville Chamber to amplify our collective voice and further unify South Carolina’s presence on Capitol Hill. Together, we’ll advocate for policies that strengthen our economy, support infrastructure development and address the needs of our growing communities.

What to Expect
Attendees will participate in high-level briefings and meetings with Congressional leaders, federal agencies, military officials and policy experts. The agenda is designed to provide direct access to the decision-makers who influence funding, regulation and legislation that impact our region.

Building international connections: 2024 DC Fly-In participants at the Canadian Embassy.
