Eastern NC Future Forum

The NC East Alliance will host our 2026 Annual Event, an inspiring gathering that marks the launch of a bold new regional brand and explores how Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the future of education, workforce, and industry across Eastern North Carolina.

For over a decade, the NC East Alliance has convened regional leaders in workforce development, education, place branding, and community development to tackle the most pressing challenges, and opportunities, facing our region. In 2025, we welcomed more than 450 leaders representing all 29 counties in our impact area.

Join us in 2026 as we look ahead, spark new ideas, and chart a shared vision for the future of the East.
