BOOTH CAMP FEATURES 2 GREAT SPEAKERS, NETWORKING & FREE LUNCH

boothcamppp  

Have you had a booth in an expo? Do you wonder how you can make it better than ever? Do you feel you know how to pre- and post-market?

 

On Thursday, January 10th, five chambers that participate in the annual Five Star Expo, will gather at Bloomingdale Golf Club to hear speakers Tom Gosche as well as Steve Robinson/Constant Contact speak about getting ready for an expo, putting your best booth forward, and how to follow up afterward.

JANUARY LUNCH = 4 CHAMBERS 

ProgLuncheongraphic Start the year off in a strong way with a Multi-Chamber Progressive Luncheon on Wednesday, January 16th. Four chambers gather to bring the best networking at this event at Bloomingdale Golf Club. Have you signed up yet?

PUBLIC INVITED TO JANUARY 27th BRIDAL/SPECIAL EVENT EXPO

   

 Do you like parties? How about planning them?

 

We have expanded the annual wedding expo to include other celebrations at this year's "CELEBRATE: Bridal & Special Event Expo" on Sunday, January 27th, 2013 from 11:30am to 3:00pm at the Holiday Inn & Suites.

 

If a B2C expo is a good fit, you can have a booth for just $85 (CS chamber members). Of course, all are invited to taste food, see fashions, and try to win doorprizes, as well as visiting fellow chamber members.

 

If your house is one of so many who have prom dresses to 'recycle', make a special  note about this event, where you can participate in a Prom Dress Resale at this expo. Want to know more? Call us, or grab the expo form here...

BUSINESS AFTER HOURS

  If you've never attended an After Hours, you've missed a valuable event offered by the Carol Stream Chamber.

 

Unlike our luncheons (and, don't get me wrong -- they are wonderful), After Hours events are more casual, less structured and a fantastic chance to meet and mingle with other members or their guests. Did I mention there is no charge to attend an After Hours? Free is the word.

 

So, with all this in mind, you should find some time for the January After Hours on the 17th from 5:30-7:30pm. We'll be hosted by Fox & Hound in Bloomingdale -- nice people there! Here is where you can sign up...

FIVE STAR EXPO ON 2/22/13

Our annual multi-chamber Business2Business expo will be held on February 22nd at Hilton Chicago/Indian Lakes. The 17th annual Five Star Business Expo will feature members of the: Addison, Bartlett, Bloomingdale, Carol Stream, and the Glendale Heights chambers. If you've never been to it, you should seriously consider it. Here is more info....
