UPCOMING EVENTS

Sports fans and business owners can now benefit from professional relationships with their favorite college athletes under a new NCAA rule that allows student athletes – across all divisions and sports – to make money from their name, image and likeness (NIL) through endorsement deals, public appearances, social-media campaigns, sponsorships, and more.

At 10 a.m. on Feb. 8, join the CBICC for a webinar to discover how to incorporate student athletes into your business' marketing mix. We'll discuss existing examples, brainstorm ideas and learn how co-branding can benefit both businesses and student athletes. 

Speakers include Impressions' Michelle Damiano, Hello Social's Ellen Matis, and Vesper Management's Chris Ganter.

RSVP for the Zoom info:

We're looking forward to our next Business After Hours at Storm & Park's new location, 600 Science Park Road in State College.

We'll gather from 5 - 7 p.m. on Thursday, February 17.

There will be drinks, door prizes from Best Line and more!

Menu items include margherita flat bread, pretzel bits with bourbon mustard, locally cured meats and cheese, and a selection of soups.

Be sure to RSVP early for the member $5 early-bird rate.

We look forward to seeing you there and welcoming new members too!
