Events & Engagement

One of the most valuable ways to leverage your membership is to show up. CBICC hosts a variety of events throughout the year — from Business After Hours networking and Coffee Conversations to educational presentations and members-only gatherings. Attending these events helps you and your business:

  • Build relationships
  • Stay informed
  • Raise your profile in the community

Looking to take it a step further? Sponsorship opportunities are available to put your brand front and center, and members are welcome to host events of their own.

Plus One Program: Share Your Membership Benefits Bring one complimentary guest to any Business After Hours event.

The Plus One Program encourages CBICC members to invite prospective members to the Chamber to experience a Business After Hours event as their guest. The program provides your guest with a firsthand look at the value of CBICC networking while empowering current members to help grow the Chamber network.

When you bring someone to the Chamber, you're giving them access to a community that can help their business thrive.

Community Builders:

If your guest decides to join within 30 days, you'll be recognized as a Community Builder in our Member Minute newsletter. We celebrate the members who help strengthen our network.

Here's how it works:

  • Register for the next Business After Hours event
  • Let us know you're bringing a guest when you register for the event (or email the Event Coordinator with their information)
  • We handle the rest: the warm welcome, the introductions, an overview of Chamber membership benefits, and the follow-up
    • Guests must be non-CBICC members

The guest should be:

    • A business or organization that is not currently a CBICC member.
    • Someone who is interested in learning more about Chamber membership.
    • A first-time guest (or has not attended within the past year).
