One of the greatest benefits of being a member of the GSCC is the opportunity to meet a wide variety of business people from the community and beyond.
With close to 30 events a year, we provide many opportunities throughout the year to rub shoulders with the brightest minds in business today. Whether you are interested in early morning networking breakfasts, exhibiting at our monthly After Business event or something in between, we've got just the event for you.
After Business |
The GSCC conducts eleven After Business sessions per year, usually held on the second Tuesday of each month, from 5 pm to 7 pm at different member locations throughout the community.
After Business is Sudbury's premier networking opportunity! Attendees are encouraged to exchange business cards, introduce new staff members and bring guests. The chamber encourages members to showcase their products and services by exhibiting at After Business. Also included in the evening are hors d'oeuvres, prize draws and a brief business portion.
