About The Festival
Developing our talent pipeline is critical to the continued success of this region. Hosting a festival to celebrate advancement in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math allows show goers to see, experience, and dream about future careers while interfacing with industries and organizations that can make their dreams a reality. More recently, the ‘Arts’ were added to the commonly known acronym forming STEAM—because employers understand that creativity and soft skills add vitality to any program, project, or work environment. eSTEAM Sumter, is our way of bridging the gap, shoring up our workforce, talent and highlighting the development and growth of our region.
