Hosting a Chamber event is an excellent way to highlight your business or organization. It provides an opportunity to showcase your space, introduce your team, demonstrate what you do, and offer tours or activities. You can also feature any refreshments or food you provide. This event allows you to connect with the local business community, expand your reach, and attract potential customers and supporters. Hosting or speaking at an event is only open to members in good standing.

Speaking at an Event
Workshops: We have online workshops that we will run occasionally which is a great opportunity for you showcase your knowledge. These are not sales opportunities, but simply speaking on a topic that is an area of expertise for you, and yes, you may get sales out of that, but the opportunity itself is not a sales pitch. If you are interested, you can reach out to [email protected] with what topic you can speak on and we can discuss next steps if it is a fit with a current event or can be done as a virtual or in person workshop.
ChamberAM or Coffee in the County: We love to have a good speaker at our ChamberAM events. This is a more personal story type of speaker. It is a storytelling opportunity to showcase who you are, how you got to where you are and ultimately share advice with your fellow business community. Inspirational, educational, passionate, and in no way a sales pitch. While we aim for personal, you may just have a great story about your business or some educational lines to share, If you are interested, please reach out to [email protected] Don’t be shy, I am sure you have a great story to tell about how you got to where you are today!
