Brandon Chamber of Commerce events

BRANDON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The Brandon Chamber of Commerce takes great pride in offering our members and the Brandon business community highquality events. From casual mixers to elegant galas, there is always something going on at the Chamber! Our event season typically runs from September to June, but with COVID19 altering the way we deliver our events, we offered virtual events all summer. Currently, many of our events are being delivered in person once again, but we will still be hosting some virtual events too. We are working hard to continue to deliver quality events and programs that our members will find value in. Check out some of our featured events below!

LUNCHEON SERIES

These popular events are held monthly from September to June and feature presentations from business, industry, government, and institutional CEOs on topical information of importance to the business community. Our inperson luncheons are back, so be sure to register yourself and a friend, and join us for some great information!

FIRST FRIDAY COFFEES

Fill up your coffee mug and join in on the conversation! These hourlong networking events are held the first Friday morning of every month. These events will be either inperson or virtual, as we feel both formats have huge benefits to those who attend! No speeches, no agenda, and open to all employees of member businesses. Chamber Coffees promote the exchange of ideas and discussion while giving you the opportunity to meet someone new and practice your networking skills in a casual setting.

AWARDS GALA

The Brandon Chamber’s Annual Awards Gala is the premier business event of the year. This gala event boasts a spectacular night of great food, entertainment, and celebration as we recognize the success of our thriving business community with the presentation of our Business Excellence Awards.
