Ready, Set, Grow—The Board Is Set for Chamber-OPOLY! 🎲

We are excited to announce our 2025 Business After Hours Expo at the Marshall Health Network Arena Convention Center on Thursday, September 25, from 5 - 8 p.m. This year’s Expo theme, “Chamber-opoly: Where Every Move is a Business Opportunity," is inspired by your favorite board games!


This event is open to the public and offers the opportunity to connect with fellow business leaders and community members in a relaxed setting, enhancing your visibility and building valuable relationships in your business. With an expo-style set-up, participating members decorate their booths in accordance to the board game theme, and with Halloween just around the corner, costumes for all attendees are encouraged!


Whether you're launching a new product, expanding your client base, or getting to know our member businesses, the Business After Hours Expo offers the perfect opportunity to roll the dice and grow your network, one move at a time. 

 

We want to hear from you!

This quick, 5-minute survey is your opportunity to share what’s working, where you're facing challenges, and how the Chamber can better support your business.


We’ll be sending out surveys like this quarterly—and your feedback will directly shape our programs, advocacy efforts, and communications. In short, your voice helps guide our work.
