This is absolutely your best chance to showcase your business to the community, make new contacts and send your staff to expert seminars. The Business Conference & Showcase sells out to exhibitors faster every year, so don’t waste a moment! Save the date - Tuesday, March 17, 2009 - and contact the Columbia Chamber of Commerce today to reserve your booth.

In addition to First National Bank & Trust Company, our Presenting Sponsor, the Business Conference & Showcase is supported by Gold Sponsors Columbia College and Visionworks Marketing & Communications. Our Bronze Sponsors are Columbia Photo, Mid America Wireless and Holiday Inn Select Executive Center. Media Sponsors are NewsTalk 1400 KFRU , KOMU-TV 8 and the Columbia Business Times.

The big day begins with the Quarterly Membership Breakfast, followed throughout the morning and afternoon by a special selection of seminars designed to equip your staff with new tricks, hot trends and a professional polish. At midday, there will be a luncheon with an excellent motivational speaker per the request of the exhibitors from the survey conducted by Gerke & Associates, Inc.

As one of our lucky exhibitors, you’ll want to make the most of your booth space. On January 22, 2009, you’ll be invited to a complimentary exhibitor training workshop sponsored by Visionworks Marketing & Communications. Be sure to attend - it’s not only the perfect opportunity to collect a whole toolbox of exhibiting ideas, it’s a great networking opportunity, too!
