This isn’t a “have to go.”
It’s not even a “get to go.”
This is a NEED to go.
And we don’t say that lightly.
There’s something happening in Highland County right now. There’s momentum. There are conversations happening, connections being made, ideas coming together — and it feels like we’re standing at the beginning of something much bigger than any one event.
The STEEL Conference on October 14th isn’t just another conference to add to your calendar.
It’s a room full of people who care about where this community is going next.
And we genuinely believe this could be one of those moments we look back on years from now and say:
That was a turning point. That helped change the trajectory of Highland County.
If you own a business, lead a team, work in this community, have an idea you’ve been sitting on, want to grow, want to connect, or simply care about what the future of Highland County looks like — you need to be in that room.
Registration closes TOMORROW, October 1st.
📅 October 14, 2026
📍 Southern State Community College | Hillsboro, Ohio
🎟️ Tickets: $150
