Where

Enjoy the program from the comfort of your own home! Registered attendees will receive a link to the attend the banquet using our Remo virtual meeting platform. We’ve been using this platform for our Business After Hours and Breakfast meetings for some time, and we believe it's the closest thing to actually being there.

When you arrive at our event, you will be placed at a random table. Participants can click open seats at different tables to move around the room & visit with others. You can use your computer's camera and mic to video chat with other people at your table. There is also a text-based chat feature to address the entire group of attendees or only those at your current table.

When our staff, sponsors and presenters take the virtual stage, they are able to share their presentations or videos with the full audience. You can choose your view to include the speaker or to make their presentation slides full screen. We’ll provide a link to check your computer’s compatibility with the program and to set up your profile in advance, so you can easily mingle with others at the event during the social time.

2021 Annual Meeting & Banquet 

 

Step into the future with us at our Annual Meeting & Banquet! Although we will gather virtually, we've worked hard to make sure it doesn't feel virtual. We’ve got engaging segments to ensure that you feel like you are a part of the program, including an interactive cocktail demonstration during the social half-hour. One thing remains the same: this will be a celebration of our community and a look toward a BRIGHT future.

In fact, this year's theme, The Future Looks Bright, was inspired by our community's extraordinary efforts to survive together in 2020 so that we can thrive in 2021 and beyond. Nothing exemplifies that hope like a celebration of our annual award winners. The event promises to be entertaining with special guest appearance from The Hackles. We’ll be sure to take care of business, too. Help us say goodbye and thank you to our outgoing board members, welcome our new ones and recap the Chamber’s year.

We’ll round out the event with our much-anticipated raffle program. Every registered attendee will receive a complimentary raffle ticket and can purchase more chances to win prizes donated by local businesses.

Attendees are encouraged to join us in adopting our theme, “The Future Looks Bright,” by wearing costumes or having props to share in their video chats during the banquet. You never know, we just might have a prize for favorite interpretation of the theme. 

Choose from three ticket options:

Blast-Off: Includes access to the live stream + 1 raffle ticket.

Orbiter: Includes base-level benefits + individual party box including drink kit + $10 meal coupon from a participating restaurant. 

Stardate (VIP): Includes mid-level benefits + delivery, dessert, and signature event swag.

Sounds fun, right? Click below to register to attend and pass it on. Everyone is welcome to attend our banquet, Chamber membership is not required. We hope to see you there!
