OUR EVENTS
One of the most valuable benefits of becoming a member is the forum the Chamber provides for making valuable personal and professional contacts in the business community. The Chamber’s events give members access to sharing experiences, knowledge, and insights on business issues and with other professionals. The Naples Chamber’s membership represents some 50,000 employees! And every one of them is a member – eligible to attend any and all our events and participate in our programming
Accelerated Networking Luncheon™ Accelerated Networking Luncheon™ is a quarterly, members-only networking event geared toward time-crunched business professionals. This event is a great way to make new business contacts, add to your referral business and build stronger relationships in the community. Annual Dinner Each May, the Chamber celebrates the past year’s accomplishments with a special evening of recognitions, introductions, and entertainment. At this festive affair, the Chamber announces outgoing and incoming officers and members of the Board of Directors and honors the recipients of several important community awards. Annual Chamber Classic Members enjoy networking on the greens at the Annual Golf Tournament. Traditionally held in May, this event provides members with the opportunity to play a challenging, private course while sponsors use the event to provide exposure for their companies. Business After Five™ Business After Five™ is an after-hours networking event that provides members a forum for promoting their businesses. Each month the event is held at a different location and attracts 150-300 business professionals. Children's Business Fair The Children’s Business Fair will offer the opportunity for young entrepreneurs, ages 6-17, to showcase and sell their product or service to the public. Working with the Chamber, children will learn free-market principles, how the workforce drives the local economy and relish in the rewards of their hard work. The Naples Chamber will work with participants post-event to help continue their professional growth, connect them with business leaders and provide support on their entrepreneurial journey. Excellence in Industry Awards™ The Partnership for Collier’s Future Economy™, an affiliate of The Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce, showcases the “best of the best” businesses in Collier County at the Excellence in Industry Awards™ Annual Business Recognition Ceremony. Nearly 300 business, civic and community leaders gather for the prestigious event that honors top companies who exemplify the use of innovation, a responsible approach to economic diversification, and business and community enhancement. LCF Alumni Association™ Leadership Lunch Series The LCF Alumni Association™ Leadership Lunch Series is open to graduates of Leadership Collier™, GAIN™ (Growing Associates in Naples), Youth Leadership™, Campaign for Leadership™ and the Leadership Institute™. The event provides education, stewardship and networking opportunities to keep alumni abreast of the current challenges and opportunities facing the community. Proceeds benefit the LCF Scholarship Fund, which provides tuition assistance for the Chamber leadership programs. New Member Orientation Several times a year, the Chamber holds orientation meetings designed to be a “guide to getting the most out of your membership.” Attendees have the opportunity to promote their business while learning about Chamber initiatives, programs, and services to help them grow their business. Prospective members, new members and existing members who would like a “refresher course” on the Chamber are encouraged to attend. Wake Up Naples™ Wake Up Naples™ is a popular and well-attended breakfast event, held on the second Wednesday of the month. Members can network with one another before and after the presentation by a featured speaker. Though the topic of each meeting changes from month to month, members can be certain that the presentation will offer insight, education and opportunities to further enhance their business. |
