Business After Hours is our premier networking event for business professionals, giving you the opportunity to discuss and share ideas while learning about other local businesses. It is a relationship building experience held in a relaxed setting that benefits you and your company through added contacts and resources.
Attending is included free with your Chamber membership, but pre-registration is encouraged.
Normally, it is scheduled 3rd Thursday of each month and hosted at a Chamber member location. (Dates vary, please check our calendar for currently scheduled events.)
Interested in hosting? This event is for marketing, connecting, and growing your business with other community leaders and business owners to engage and learn about what is going on in our business community.
Purpose: Allows hosts to showcase their businesses to fellow Chamber Members and the business community. A great alternative networking opportunity for members who are unable to attend events throughout the day. Offers Chamber Members the opportunity to network and grow your customer base in a casual, relaxed environment.
Event Time: 4:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. Hosts should be prepared by 4:00 p.m.
Host Site: Business After-Hours is normally held at the host's place of business; therefore, space must be adequate to accommodate 25-35 guests (including parking). If inside space is not adequate, tents are recommended. If space must be rented, the cost will be the responsibility of the host. Business After-Hours may be co-sponsored with another business of your choosing.
Food & Beverage: All food and beverages are to be provided in sufficient quantities to serve an event lasting two (2) hours.
