Carolinah Regional Gathering

We've heard all the gold in California is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills in somebody else's name, but there's always new gold, since we understand there are people out there turning music into gold!

And now there is a new source in the Carolinas as well!

That's right, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Piedmont Area Mensa's founding, the 2026 PAM Regional Gathering theme will be: "50 Shiny Years - PAM's Golden Jubilee: Baby There's Gold On Site!"

For three days, March 27-29, 2026, the rainbow ends at the Drury Inn & Suites in Greenville, SC, where we will be dipping into the pot of gold for our usual array of gilded speakers, games, and events.

So, grab your favorite GAD (Gold Acquisition Device), be it a metal detector, pickax, mining pan, or spinning wheel, and register today!
