More Than Presentations
The Business Summit isn't just about sitting and listening. We're creating an environment where businesses can ask questions, exchange ideas, meet resources, develop relationships and have conversations about the issues that matter to them.
Attendees can look forward to: Expert Speakers • Interactive Sessions • Trade Show Booths • Business Resources • Networking Opportunities • Great Food & Refreshments • Door Prizes & Giveaways • Two Days of Learning & Connection
Trade Show & Business Showcase
The Summit will also feature Trade Show Booths, giving businesses, organizations and service providers an opportunity to showcase what they offer, connect directly with attendees and build new relationships. This is a great opportunity to promote your business, introduce a new product or service, demonstrate what you do, recruit employees, or simply increase your visibility within the regional business community.

Why Two Days?
We know business doesn't stop just because there's an event happening. That's why the Summit will take place on both Friday, October 23 and Saturday, October 24. Offering a weekday and weekend option provides greater flexibility for business owners, managers and employees who may not be able to step away from their workplace on a particular day.
Attend the sessions that work for you, or make the most of the experience and join us for both days.
Who Should Attend?
If you're in business, this Summit is for you.
Business owners, managers, supervisors, employees, entrepreneurs, professionals, non-profit organizations, community leaders and anyone interested in strengthening our regional business community are encouraged to attend.
You don't have to navigate today's business challenges alone. Come learn from the experts, connect with other businesses, discover resources and be part of the conversation.
