Host a "Business After Hours" Mixer:

Solid business relationships are vital to growing and maintaining your business. Your Chamber gives you monthly opportunities to network with your Chamber membership, so you can make new contacts, find potential clients and develop valuable business relationships that can help strengthen your business now and in the future. Our “Business After Hours” events provide incredible opportunities to spread the word about your products and services, educate you about business as well as learn about what other businesses can offer you in a fun and relaxing atmosphere. During certain times of the year, your Chamber enables you to further expand your networking circle by partnering with other local area chambers to hold joint events. A “Business After Hours” event can be hosted (venue location) and sponsored by two separate businesses or by just one. Those businesses that wish to host and/or sponsor one of our monthly events are able to spotlight and promote their business by giving a brief presentation at the event and also through the Chamber’s promotional efforts: press releases to local newspapers, media coverage, flyers, event eblasts to membership and mention in our Carbon eLink newsletter.

Cost to Host Event: $150.00 

2023 Event Schedule: Please consult the Chamber Events Calendar on our website for the most up-to-date information on upcoming events. To host or sponsor a future “Business After Hours’ event, please contact the Chamber office.
