EASTON, MARYLAND — Emory University President Christopher L. Augostini will give the keynote at Talbot County's 20th Annual Business Appreciation Summit and Community Impact Awards, set for Thursday, April 29, 2027, from 8 to 10 a.m. in The Tidewater Inn's Gold Ballroom.
Talbot County Economic Development and Tourism hosts the event. Its announcement says sponsorship opportunities and ticket sales will be announced soon, with updates in the Talbot Works newsletter and at talbotworks.org. No ticket price has been posted.
Augostini became Emory's 22nd president on Sept. 1, 2026, after a unanimous vote by the university's board of trustees, according to the county office. He joined Emory in 2017 and oversaw the university's finances and business operations before taking the top job.
The summit brings together small- and large-business owners, Community Impact Award recipients, elected officials and other local leaders, the office said.
"Talbot County's success depends on people who understand that strong businesses and a strong community grow together," said Stephanie Mervine, director of Talbot County Economic Development and Tourism.
