The Southern C Summit

On August 1, Epting Events, along with Southern Living and The Southern Coterie Network, will be presenting The Southern C Summit, a one-day networking event and conference. The inaugural Southern C Summit was held on Jekyll Island in early May. This time around, they’re bringing the show to Athens, Georgia – a town known for its southern charm and personality.

This event, hosted at the Georgia Museum of Art and the Georgia Theatre, will unite the best of southern brands, bloggers, businesses, as well as an assortment of creative minds to collaborate, create, and innovate. The daytime events will consist of several panels, including Ashley Epting’s presentation titled “Real to Reel: Food, Film, and TV.” This panel blends together two of Ashley’s passions – throwing parties and the entertainment industry. For a sneak peek into what Ashley’s panel will discuss, check out the teaser trailer for “Black Tie and BBQ.” In addition to Ashley’s presentation, guest panelists include the creative forces of the Wier/Stewart ad agency in Augusta, The Broke Socialite’s Shameeka Ayers, The Love List’s Jess Graves, and Hanna Seabrook, the creative director of Southern Proper.

This event offers treats for the mind and for the stomach. A networking luncheon at the Georgia Museum of Art and an evening event, “Cocktails and Conversations,” at the Georgia Theatre are being coordinated and provided by the staff and kitchen at Epting Events. Additional lunch and dinner items are being brought in by local southern vendors, as well as Athens restaurants such as Pauley’s, The Branded Butcher, Pauley’s and The National. Bartenders will be on hand to create specialty cocktails with Cathead Vodka and Charred Oak Spirits’ bourbon. The event will conclude with a panel led by Southern Living’s Hunter Lewis, with Chefs Whitney Otawka and Peter Dale, and Greg Best, a partner and mixologist at Atlanta’s Holeman & Finch.
