The Forward Party of South Carolina will hold its state convention on May 4, 2024, at 5pm, at the Hyatt Place Hotel in downtown Columbia, SC. Join us! Please be aware that the first weekend in Columbia is expected to be very busy with college graduations and weddings. So the Hyatt will offer special parking arrangements: Attendees may park in the lot outside of the Hyatt Place Downtown Lobby, if spaces are available. If the lot is full, then participants should park in the Washington/Lincoln Street garage (overflow parking) and trade their parking ticket for a pass that will allow them to exit the garage without charge. You may exchange your parking ticket for a pass at the Hyatt Place front desk. The Hyatt overflow reserved parking is located on the second floor of this garage.  The garage address is 820 Washington Street, Columbia, SC 29201, located adjacent from the Hyatt Place Hotel, and behind the Aloft hotel. The parking fee will be waived for those participants driving in for daily sessions.  Any participant/guest staying overnight will be charged the $18 parking fee (self-parking or Valet).
