It’s a moment two years in the making: The Chamber’s Annual Dinner returns to Monona Terrace on Wednesday, Oct. 20! Our 68th Annual Dinner will tell the story of our steadfast dedication to solving challenges through coordinated action. We are planning an innovative, high-caliber event that you have come to anticipate, and we want you to be part of the evening.
On Dec. 7, State of the Sectors returns for a fourth year to bring together national voices and local experts to assess Greater Madison’s current and projected economic standing and competitive positioning in key industries. Our panelists will also discuss recent trends and analyze the latest regional business data, including findings from our most recent business survey conducted in partnership with area chambers and business membership organizations.
The Chamber is now accepting applications for this year’s Pressure Chamber startup initiative, which returns on Aug. 16 during Forward Festival, Wisconsin’s largest technology and entrepreneurship festival.
Applicants for Pressure Chamber go through a screening process that may include presentations with prominent Wisconsin investors. From there, a select number of companies will be chosen to pitch to a panel of out-of-state investors, business executives and a live audience during Forward Fest. In addition to receiving the coveted “golden suitcase,” the winning company will also get a reserved spot in the Chamber’s exclusive Greater Madison startup meetings with top Silicon Valley investment firms this fall.
Join us for our next Big Night Out for your quarterly chance to connect with your fellow Greater Madison business leaders over appetizers and drinks. For this year's series, we will be visiting and showcasing community non-profit spaces. This quarter's event will highlight the new Arts + Literature Laboratory (Art Lit Lab).
Federal policymakers, staff and honorary Wisconsinites are invited to join Greater Madison business executives, entrepreneurs and community leaders to discover the economic momentum of Wisconsin’s capital city.
