What can we do to retain and attract young, talented residents to the Columbia region? What should be our priorities? How can we get people involved? What will it take to turn Columbia into a place that attracts the creative class?

These and other questions will be addressed Friday at the Columbia Talent Magnet Forum, held from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Trustus Theatre, 520 Lady St.

The forum is a guided community conversation with 100 guests aimed at the development of plans for Columbia’s future. The basis for the conversation will be responses to the Talent Magnet Survey conducted earlier in the fall.

The forum is a joint effort of the Columbia Talent Magnet Project and the Southern Growth Policies Board.

The Columbia Talent Magnet Project is collaboration among EngenuitySC, the Greater Columbia Chamber of Commerce, the Columbia Metropolitan Convention & Visitors Bureau, Columbia Opportunity Resource and New Carolina: South Carolina’s Council on Competitiveness.
