Yay! We’d love to have you join us for The Southern C Summit 2024! Tickets will be on sale by end of September 2023 for an in person Summit on Sea Island and a streaming virtual event set for Tuesday, January 30, through Thursday, February 1, 2024.
Sign up for our newsletter to stay in the loop for all the updates and be sure to follow us on our social media channels.
While sessions don’t begin until 1 pm on January 30th, there will be events beginning that morning such as the Swag Market 10 am – noon. The Summit will conclude Thursday, February 1st at noon. The virtual event will have same general timeline with some adaptations.
We do not issue physical tickets to our events. After purchasing your ticket, you will receive a confirmation email at the email address with which you registered.
If you did not receive an email (and it is not located in your spam and/or junk mail folders), please contact us immediately at teamtsc@thesouthernc.com as it is likely your ticket did not process. Although we try our best to proactively catch any incomplete ticket issues, we are not responsible for ticket purchase errors and will not be able to remedy any issues after we have sold out.
Rest assured that if you received a confirmation email, you have a ticket! If you want to check up on whether you have a ticket, email us!
Once you have a ticket, you will also be added to our attendee newsletter list to receive updates on the event for which you registered, including our event app, logistical information and information about the venue and our sponsors. You can opt out of our newsletter at any time, but you will no longer receive information about the event.
We do! The list can be quite lengthy, so we’d encourage you to email us as soon as possible as we process the list on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Please note that if a spot opens up and you are contacted, you will have 24 hours from being notified to contact us with payment information before we move to the next name on the list.
Waiting list tickets are subject to our ticket policy, so are non-refundable and non-transferrable within 45 days of the event.
To be placed on the wait list, please email your name and phone number to teamtsc@thesouthernc.com with the subject line “Waiting List Request”. We only use your phone number as a back-up method for contacting you if a spot opens up on our list. We do not sell or share your phone number with anyone outside of The Southern C.
Sometimes, due to circumstances beyond our control, this may be subject to change without notice. We will do our best to bring in comparable offerings should this happen. We are not able to make refunds based upon this.
In the event that you are unable to attend the Summit in-person, your ticket will convert to a virtual ticket. This request must be made by January 5, 2024, to coordinate with Sea Island Resorts food and beverage + venue headcount commitment.
Requests should be sent to teamtsc@thesouthernc.com. At that time, your ticket will convert to a virtual ticket and you will be refunded the difference within two weeks.
TSC Summit virtual ticket gives live access to sessions during the Summit. If you are unable to attend virtually during Summit dates, you will have access to videos of the sessions post Summit.
There are no full refunds or credits towards future events. Attendees are not allowed to resell or transfer tickets once they have been purchased. We adhere to this policy to honor our responsibility to the ticket holders to provide the best services and not cut resources due to special request outside of the cancellation policy.
We’d love to talk with you! We have the best sponsors and attendees so this makes for magical pairings! Email our Sponsorship Lead Jenn Agnew at jennagnew@thesouthernc.com for more information.
We are always interested in learning about new potential speakers. A great way to get started is by completing the speaker interest form.
In order to 1) protect the investment of our Summit sponsors and 2) ensure the inclusivity of all Summit attendees, no Presenter, Brand, Marketer, or Agency may host any event, function, training, seminar, focus group or other activity that, in the sole discretion of The Southern C Summit, competes with the Summit from Tuesday, January 30, through mid-day Thursday, February 1, 2024.
Doing so will result in cancelled tickets and forfeiting the ability to purchase tickets at future Summits. Attendee participation in those type of events could also result in conference registration being revoked and future registration and/or participation denied.
We are happy to support and promote attendee events produced outside of the event dates as is possible. Please contact us at teamtsc@thesouthernc.com if you have additional questions about this policy or requests to host an event outside of the event dates.
Though our events have no official dress code, most attendees pack their stylish, but comfortable, attire. Sea Island’s resort property is an upscale coastal vibe. There will be photo ops galore with fellow attendees and participating brands.

We are happy to talk to anyone who has attended one of our in-person events about becoming a contributor. We feel that those who have attended an event have the best understanding of our audience and are those that can best write content that appeals to our readers. We ask for a commitment of one article per quarter. Being a contributor is a non-paid position, although contributors do receive certain perks.
To discuss becoming a contributor, please contact Katelyn Whelan.
We do not publish sponsored content for which The Southern C is not involved or which does not involve our events. Examples of past sponsored content includes, but is not limited to, travel articles after The Southern C team visits a location and/or local businesses, as well as content that showcases our event sponsors. Sponsored content reflects our corporate pillars of entrepreneurial education, networking and lifestyle inspiration, just as our regular blog content does.

We love sitting down with entrepreneurs as both a sounding board for new ideas and pivots, and to share advice based on our experiences.

To request a meeting, whether by phone or in person, please email us at teamtsc@thesouthernc.com and give us an idea of the type of conversation you’d like to have. Our Co-Founders, Cheri Leavy and Whitney Long are available for consult for a per-hour fee.

Whether it is taking on more employees or hiring tax and legal help, we love it when members and alums want to hire within our amazing network! This opportunity is available through The Southern C Membership where members are able to post and share job opportunities with fellow members.
We love a good collaboration! Please contact us at teamtsc@thesouthernc.com with the subject line “Collaboration Request” and a detailed description of your proposed collaboration idea.

Our mantra is #connectcollaboratecreate, so we love it when entrepreneurs get together in support of one another.

What is #ispytscsummitalums? It’s our hashtag to highlight TSC Summit alums connecting and collaborating. We do a monthly round-up in our newsletter of our alums featured in the media (print, digital and podcast) and collaborating with each other. This hashtag on social is our best resource! We are a small but mighty team, so please don’t pre-pitch us items for promotion through #ispytscsummitalums. This hashtag is all about the organic celebration of connections made and all the awesomeness that results.
If you’ve been featured in the media or collaborating with another alum, email us here so we can include you in our monthly roundup on our newsletter, blog and social media.
The member forums are a place for members to connect on a variety of entrepreneurial and lifestyle topics. We ask that members take political discussions offline and always expect members to be respectful, courteous and PG.
The member calendar is a place for members to post their business events and gatherings. Advertised events should be open to any member attending, or if there is a fee to attend, should be clearly stated. We ask that members refrain from posting political gatherings or non-business-related events on the board.
Currently, we’re capping membership at 325 members. We want to continue to provide an intimate community for our members much like the atmosphere at the Summits.
This exclusive benefit allows members to provide discount codes, specials, and other perks specific to their business or company that encourages other members to do business with them. These perks could be an out-of-the-blue sale, a holiday shopping code, or a year-long discount code for members. As a member, this also provides you the special opportunity to take part in great deals while supporting the amazing businesses of fellow members!
