Valdosta’s largest business networking event will kick off Thursday with an estimated participation of nearly 500 attendees and exhibitors for the afternoon occasion. With more than 80 exhibitor booths, event organizers expect a busy afternoon of networking and engagement at the annual Valdosta Chamber Business Showcase, sponsored by Ameris Bank.

“This is an exciting event,” said Erika Bennett, organizer for the business to business tradeshow. “We know we are asking a lot by having businesses, large and small, take time out of their busy days to exhibit at the show. However, these representatives are on the front line for innovation and investment. Together with industry and business leaders from more than 20 market segments, these representatives are committed to getting the exposure and networking needed for their organization to succeed.”

“In our view, it was necessary to help sponsor this premier networking event for the area. Not only will we have over 80 exhibitors showcasing their organization, but these are all businesses that get to experience first-hand the support system for the Valdosta-Lowndes County business community,” said Michael Lee, Ameris Bank Market President.

Admission is free with a business card. For more information, please call the Chamber at 229-247-8100.
