100 of Charlotte’s top business and community leaders just visited Miami last week for the Charlotte Chamber’s annual ‘Inter City Visit’ (you can browse the entire list of participants here). Every year the group visits a new city to discover what makes other cities tick and brainstorm how they might improve Charlotte.
This year the Miami trip included walking tours, panel discussions, and seminars with Miami’s top leaders.
The group took off from Charlotte Douglas on June 22nd;
