Signature Events
Building Community
Every day is an opportunity to connect with our region’s business community, and our events and programs do even more to engage business and community leaders. These unique opportunities bring us together to discuss and know more about important issues facing our region, trends in business, and public policy and legislative issues. We have a few fun social events, too – because whenever and wherever people connect, they build the relationships that lay the foundation for the success of our region.
RISE & SHINE BUSINESS BREAKFAST
Each year, we present a series of networking breakfasts, featuring dynamic and insightful speakers. We invite you to come for some good food, great company, and inspiring conversations.
BEACON HILL SUMMIT
This day-long event is the largest regional business summit at the State House in Boston, where key legislators, members of the Governor’s administration, and other top leaders speak in support of the business community. Members and guests have the unique opportunity to discuss their ideas and concerns directly with local and statewide leaders.
MAYOR’S FORUM
The Chamber reaches far beyond the limits of the city in our name, and at this event Mayors from across the region gather to hear directly from the business community and give some insight into their priorities and initiatives.
FIRE & ICE
Our social event of the year offers area bartenders a chance to compete in a craft cocktail competition, where the real winners are the event attendees! To spice things up a bit, cocktails and food all have a fire or ice theme. This fun and casual event also serves as our annual fundraiser to support the Chamber’s programs and events.
ANNUAL MEETING & CELEBRATION
This event celebrates our successes of the past year, looks ahead to priorities and initiatives for the coming year, and honors the Richard J. Moriarty Citizen of the Year and our Leadership Institute graduates.
GOVERNMENT RECEPTION
Meet and mingle with local and state legislators in this annual and rare opportunity to have your voice heard and make important connections. At this casual event, you’ll have the chance to raise a glass in celebration of our success alongside elected officials, giving you the chance to connect one-on-one with these key leaders.
SUPER 60
This annual awards program celebrates the success of standout organizations in the region. While still recognizing the top performing for-profit businesses in revenue growth and total revenue, this event has expanded to highlight non-profits and social service organizations that are a vital part of our economy.
OUTLOOK
The premier legislative and economic forecasting event of the year looks at what to expect from local, state, and federal perspectives and features dynamic speakers that don’t often present in our region. As we all get ready to finish the year strong, this is an event you won’t want to miss!
