Business Luncheons

We are excited to invite speakers and companies from all industries in the Lowcountry to join us at our International Luncheons. These events are an excellent opportunity to learn about international topics closer to home. 

We especially welcome international organizations or companies located in the Lowcountry. Your global perspective enriches our community, and we are eager to learn about the mission shaping your operations. If you would like to represent your company at an international luncheon, or for more information about these events, email us at [email protected]. 

Previous events were held at Hall's Signature Events and had a primarily business focus. Thanks to a new partnership with The German Friendly Society, luncheons have a broader focus and take place at 29 Chalmers St., in downtown Charleston, SC. 

Cost varies. Registration and prepayment are required. You can find details on our home page under UPCOMING EVENTS.
