Congratulations to Aurora Area Convention & Visitors Bureau

The Batavia Chamber was proud to join the Aurora Area Convention & Visitors Bureau in celebrating the ribbon cutting for their new location.

This move marks an exciting new chapter for the organization as they continue their work promoting Aurora and the surrounding communities as a destination to visit, explore, stay and enjoy. Their efforts play an important role in showcasing the many unique communities that make our area a great place to visit, including; Aurora, Batavia, Big Rock, Elburn, Geneva, HInckley, Montgomery, North Aurora, Oswego, Plano, Sugar Grove, Yorkville, and communities throughout Kendall County. By bringing visitors to our region, the AACVB helps create a positive impact for local businesses, restaurants, hotels, attractions and experiences.

Congratulations to the entire Aurora Area Convention & Visitors Bureau team on your beautiful new space! We’re thrilled to celebrate this milestone with you and look forward to all that’s ahead.

Networking & Connecting

Be a Connector

Make one helpful connection

True relationship-building goes beyond being likable. It’s about seeing opportunities to connect the right people and making thoughtful introductions.

Think beyond the immediate conversation

A good networking conversation does not always end with a sale. Sometimes it leads to a referral, a partnership, a resource, or a future opportunity.
