Announcing 2025 Employer Summit: 10th Annual Event
Conference on disability inclusion in the workforce opens with early bird pricing.
GREENVILLE, SC (June 5, 2025) – Able South Carolina and Hire Me SC announce the 10th annual Employer Summit, scheduled during National Disability Employment Awareness Month, on Wednesday, October 1, from 10 am to 3 pm. The event will be hosted at the Michelin Conference Center in Greenville, SC. The registration fee is typically $95. However, the event is offering an early bird registration special of $75, now through July 15th.
The Employer Summit is a one-day conference for business managers, executives, HR professionals, and service providers who are ready to strengthen their workforce and the economy by including people with disabilities. While one in four people in the United States has a disability, one in three South Carolinians has a disability; meanwhile, 60% of people with disabilities in this state are unemployed. The Summit aims to showcase disabled employees as a workforce that employers can’t afford to overlook.
In the interest of improving employment outcomes for people with disabilities and building a more resilient workforce, the summit will host two tracks: a track for employers with topics covering designing inclusive workplaces and the impact of AI on the future of work and employment, and a track for service providers with topics ceneterd on sustaining job placement success and job search tools that work from the perspective of those with lived experience. Employers and providers will come together over lunch for a panel discussion, aimed at strengthening their cooperative relationships. “Including a provider track is essential, said Marly Saade, Director of Employment Programs at Able South Carolina, “Providers often serve as the gatekeepers for people with disabilities. By engaging providers in the 10th Annual Employer Summit, we broaden collaboration to better meet the comprehensive needs of individuals with disabilities in the workforce. Strong collaboration between providers and employers is critical to supporting job retention, sustaining employment, and creating pathways for advancement. This partnership ensures that individuals with disabilities receive the coordinated support they need to thrive in the workplace.”
Sponsorship opportunities to support the event and the efforts of the event organizer, Able South Carolina, are available. Sponsors are privy to perks, including recognition and tickets to attend the event. For individuals, the registration fee is typically $95. However, the event is offering an early bird registration special of $75 per person, now through July 15th. Registration is open at hiremesc.org/employer-summit where visitors can also find information about partnering with the event through sponsorship or by becoming a vendor. Nationally transferable SHRM and HRCI credits for attendees are pending.
