At the Southwest Michigan Regional Chamber, we understand the significance of networking and building strong business relationships. That’s why we invite you to be a part of our “Business After Hours” events. These gatherings are the perfect blend of professional networking and community engagement, providing the ideal platform for you to connect with fellow business leaders, share ideas, and strengthen our vibrant community.

 

What is “Business After Hours”

“Business After Hours” is a series of carefully curated events that bring together the local business community. These casual yet purposeful gatherings create an environment where you can meet fellow professionals, explore potential partnerships, and gain valuable insights in a relaxed and enjoyable setting. It also provides the host site with a unique opportunity to showcase their facilities, products, and services.
