Networking Luncheons

The Chamber has luncheon speaker and sponsor opportunities available September 10, and November 12. Do you want to spotlight your business or organization or tell us what's new in 2025 and beyond? Sponsoring a Chamber lunch is a great way to bring attention to your business or organization.

Facility tours, business history, innovative products and services, expansion plans, etc. are all great topics of interest to our group. And we all need to keep up with legal and regulatory changes, so if you are an expert interested in sharing need-to-know information for businesses, we need to talk.

For more information, contact Rensselaer Chamber. Your sponsorship is appreciated.
