Catalyst Business Summit 2025: Spark. Shift. Ignite.
Get ready for an energizing day of innovation and leadership! The Effingham County Chamber’s Catalyst Business Summit is the region’s premier event for bold thinkers and community builders. Hosted in the heart of Effingham County, Catalyst draws a dynamic audience from across our economic corridor—including Port Wentworth, Pooler, Garden City, and the surrounding areas of Chatham, Bryan, and Bulloch Counties.
Catalyst is designed to spark ideas, shift mindsets, and reignite your purpose. Throughout the day, you’ll experience a powerful blend of inspiration, practical tools, and meaningful connections—all in an energizing, collaborative setting.
The morning kicks off with Think Talks—short, high-impact presentations from some of the region’s boldest leaders. These sessions will challenge your thinking, fuel creativity, and set the tone for the day ahead.
Next, small groups will head out on the Downtown Springfield Retail Crawl, an immersive experience showcasing local businesses as platforms for innovation and community-driven growth.
Midday, we’ll gather at 13 Stars Event Venue for Business Bites, an open-air networking lunch featuring signature flavors from local favorites like Southern Kafe on 17, Savannah Event Catering, The Sated Spoon, and King of Pops.
In the afternoon, dive into Breakout Sessions led by subject matter experts who will deliver actionable insights, unexpected ideas, and fresh perspectives tailored for business success.
Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur, emerging leader, or passionate community advocate, Catalyst offers affordable, all-day access to big ideas, practical strategies, and authentic leadership development. Walk away with stronger clarity, new connections, and renewed direction for your business and your community.
