Business after Hours Program

The Carbon Valley Chamber of Commerce has a very exciting event called Business after Hours. It’s a program where people get together, share the spotlight, and share the fun! 
This program is the CVCC featured event and a wonderful way to get your business name out to the public, drum up new business, and network within the chamber. These events are held on the 1st Thursday of every month, (no events in July and May) and in April on the 2nd Thursday from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.  The months of September and April are designated as multi-chamber months.  This means other chambers from the surrounding Southwest Weld County area attend! You may participate in three ways: as a Facility Host, as a Co-Host, or as a Holiday Sponsor.  The Business After Hours Committee does all the marketing, setup, clean up, catering, and preparation. Your business is also mentioned in weekly chamber emails and e-newsletter, and is also posted on the chamber event calendar before the event.
