Business After Hours Returns in 2027 — Reserve Your Spot Today!

We're excited to announce that Business After Hours will be returning next year on the last Thursday of select months, and we're looking for member businesses to host!

Business After Hours is one of the Chamber's most valuable networking events, bringing together local business owners, professionals, and community leaders in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Hosting puts your business in the spotlight, giving attendees the chance to experience your space, meet your team, and discover what makes your business unique. Many hosts gain new customers, referrals, partnerships, and increased community visibility long after the event ends.

New in 2027

We've simplified hosting to make it easier and more affordable than ever.

As a host, you'll simply provide

• Two beer or wine drink tickets per attendee (or another beverage option if preferred)

• Light refreshments 

• One door prize valued at $50-100 
  

That's it! Hosts are no longer required to provide multiple raffle prizes, making the event easier to plan while still creating a great experience for attendees.

To reserve your event, there will be a $75 hosting fee. This secures your date on the Chamber calendar and helps support event promotion, registration, and coordination so you can focus on showcasing your business.
