Future Forward Business Summit to be held at Beckley Raleigh County Convention Center
BECKLEY, WV (WVNS) — If you want to find out more about the candidates vying for your vote before the primary elections, you are in luck.
The Future Forward Business Summit is offering you a chance to do just that.
West Virginia still experiencing record tourism growth
The summit is a free event hosted by the Beckley Raleigh County Chamber of Commerce.
It takes place on Wednesday, April 8th, 2026.
Michelle Rotellini, President of the Beckley Raleigh County Chamber of Commerce, said the summit offers insight to all who attend.
“So, a lot of folks just don’t understand, you know, what goes behind decisions that are made for economic development in our area. And maybe they have complaints about infrastructure or housing. Maybe they’re curious about tourism. So, it’s just a way for our elected officials to share information,” said Rotellini.
Rotellini said the summit will also have the West Virginia Secretaries of State and Commerce, Kris Warner and Matt Herridge, as speakers.
She said the morning will feature a meet-the-candidates session followed by a media panel.
Rotellini encouraged everyone who can make it to drop by the event.
