Celebrate Small Business with the Tri-Cities Chamber As always, we’re excited to be participating in BDC’s Small Business Week. To kick off the week of celebration, we’ll be hosting a one-day tradeshow-style event, the Business Showcase. Bigger and better than ever, we’ve moved to a new venue to accommodate more than 20 additional exhibitors on the Showcase floor! Connect with the community and build your business on Tuesday, October 16 from 3:00 – 8:00 PM at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver.

EVENT DETAILS Tuesday, October 16 3:00 - 8:00PM Hard Rock Casino Vancouver

AGENDA 3:00 3: 45

The Education Lab sponsor, Coquitlam Continuing Education, is hosting two seminars between 3:00 - 5:30. These seminars will provide entrepreneurs and employees the tools they need to be efficient and elevate their business to the next level. Stop by the Education Lab which will provide new skills and techniques, giving you a competitive edge in the marketplace.

4:30 5:00

From 6:00 - 8:00 the Education Lab will host education for children and transform into the Kids Entrepreneurship Lab where children over the age of 5 can be dropped off to learn early stage business and entrepreneurial skills.

At the end of the day, you’ll walk away with numerous new connections, tangible skills, and a better understanding of what the Tri-Cities has to offer. Admission is FREE and all attendees will be provided the opportunity to indulge in bites from local restaurants and brews from local breweries and cideries. I encourage you all to come out and meet the local businesses. The Tri-Cities is the best place to live, work, and play. Join us on Tuesday, October 16 to find out why.

More information can be found at www.tricitieschamber.com. I hope to see you there!
