Help us “dress up” our event!
This year our Chamber investors reserve the opportunity to create a unique centerpiece to be displayed on one of the tables during the conference. Since seating is not assigned at this event, attendees often pick their table by the centerpiece that they like the best, in hopes that at the end of the event, they’ll be going home with it as a door prize.
