Are you looking to expand your life and business through learning and engaging with our local business community? Look no further than IdeaCamp! Presented by Southwest Airlines and sponsored by many of our amazing members, IdeaCamp creates an experience for you to share, connect, and cultivate open-minded business discussions while supporting the free flow of ideas.

IdeaCamp is free to PCB Chamber Members and $10 for prospective members. Light hors d’oeuvres are provided at each forum and the first 50 guests receive a drink ticket. Not only will you get a chance to taste delicious food and hear from our amazing speakers, but you will also have the chance to ask business-related questions and let others know what’s working and what's not working for you in your industry.

For our July IdeaCamp, Terry Mauer of Florida SBDC at UWF took the stage at Springhill Suites by Marriott (PCB) as he presented “Our Business Is Growing Yours.” The Florida SBDC at UWF provides nocost consulting services to current or aspiring small business owners. Some of their services include training programs, business plans, sales growth, marketing plans, and more. It was another successful event; everyone had a great time learning and networking with members and friends. We want to thank our presenting sponsor, Southwest Airlines, and additional supporting sponsors, A Superior Air Conditioning Company, Hare Taylor, Panama City Toyota, Regions Mortgage, and Mica Specialties. Also, a huge thanks to SpringHill Suites by Marriott Panama City Beach for providing us with the beautiful venue and Gulf view!

This past August, we had a panel of sales experts providing effective methods to improve your sales efforts. Our sponsors for this forum were Arc of the Bay, A Superior Air Conditioning Company, Hare Taylor, and Panama City Toyota. We had the pleasure of taking our August IdeaCamp to yet another fantastic venue—Bay Point Golf Club! We thank you all for your support.

Keep an eye out for announcements on upcoming IdeaCamp events! Future IdeaCamp dates are set for October 26th and November 16th. We hope to see you there!
