The Carolina Foothills Chamber of Commerce has unveiled its schedule for the 2026 Business After Hours events, designed to enhance networking opportunities among local professionals. These gatherings will occur on the third Thursday of each month from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., providing a relaxed environment for attendees to forge valuable connections.
Participants can expect a mix of networking, food, drinks, and a business card raffle at each event. The Business After Hours series aims to foster an informal atmosphere where local business owners and professionals can engage in meaningful conversations. These interactions often lead to future partnerships and customer relationships, essential for growth in the community.
January 15 kicks off the schedule at Share Thy Bread, followed by White Oak Medicine on February 19. Other scheduled venues include Wheat Creek Outpost on March 19, Deel Behavioral Health on April 16, and The Oaks of Saluda on May 21. The series continues with events at the Tryon International Equestrian Center & Resort on June 18, Stubborn Mule Restaurant and Brewery on July 16, and Polk Vocational Services on August 20. The schedule concludes with events on September 17 at Iron Key Brewing Company, October 15 at Looking Glass Creamery, and November 19 at White Oak of Tryon.
These events not only provide visibility for businesses but also present an opportunity for attendees to establish genuine relationships that can lead to collaborations and increased sales. Engaging with peers in this informal setting serves as an effective low-cost marketing strategy for any local business.
