The Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce regularly seeks proposals from member businesses to host a variety of Chamber events and programs. Members who are interested in showcasing their facility to the regional business community are invited to submit a Host Proposal Form. Hosting opportunities vary by event type, time of day, and attendance size, and may include Business After Hours, Quarterly Membership Lunches, the State of the Tri-Lakes Region, the Annual Awards Dinner & Fundraiser, and other special programs. Attendees typically include local business professionals, community partners, and civic leaders from across the Tri-Lakes area.

Process

The RFP process helps us identify potential host locations for upcoming Chamber events and programs. Once you submit a proposal, you will receive an email confirming receipt. Please note that submission of a proposal does not constitute an agreement by the Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce to utilize your location. Chamber staff and event planning committees will contact potential hosts when appropriate opportunities become available.

Host responsibilities may include

(Responsibilities will vary based on the specific event or program.)

• Providing a tasteful, professional space suitable for business and community professionals that is reasonably secluded from outside traffic and noise
• Providing food and table service, including linens and centerpieces, when applicable
• Providing a designated area where presenters are clearly visible to attendees, along with required audio-visual capabilities when applicable.
• Providing sufficient parking for event guests based on projected attendance.

Host sponsorship benefits may include

• The opportunity to showcase your facility to business and community professionals in attendance
• Verbal recognition at the event, with an opportunity for a company representative to make brief remarks
• Company name/logo recognition in event promotions and on the online event registration page
• A set number of complimentary registrations for your key staff to attend the event (to be determined in coordination with Chamber staff)
