General Information: We are currently developing our final schedule and will send out additional information in the coming weeks. As we implemented last year, we are going to focus on a specific topic for the event. 

Agenda

• Wednesday (10/13/21) afternoon will start the program with an opportunity to take the Dredging 101 course from 1 to 5 PM. Sponsors can set up their tables from 1 to 6 PM. An Ice Breaker Reception will be at the Francis Marion Hotel from 6-9 PM.
• Thursday (10/14/21) agenda will consist of technical presentations and a luncheon program that will allow members to meet with USACE district representatives on a one-on-one basis. We are excited to announce that our reception will be at the South Carolina Aquarium. 
• Friday (10/15/21) will continue with a half-day of technical presentations and conclude with chapter business at about noon. This year will include voting in a new member to the eastern chapter board. Additional details will be sent out soon.

Location: The Francis Marion Hotel became an instant Charleston landmark when it opened in 1924. Rising 12 stories above the Historic District, the hotel offers spectacular views of Charleston’s church steeples, antebellum mansions, and famous harbor, providing easy access to the wealth of Charleston’s historic attractions.
