***ALTHOUGH THE LUNCHEON DEADLINE HAS PASSED, YOU ARE STILL INVITED TO JOIN US FOR ALL OF THE GREAT NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES AND PROGRAMMING FROM 1:30-5:00!***
Join us for this valuable opportunity to grow your network and connect with the largest gathering of businesses and community leaders in Ascension Parish at this year's Ascension Chamber Business Expo & Summit presented by Cardiovascular Institute of the South. This year's event will feature:
- KEYNOTE SPEAKER presented by Ascension Credit Union & LUNCHEON presented by Ascension Public Schools Partners in Education -- Our event will kickoff with a buffet-style luncheon, keynote message, and special recognition of Ascension Partners in Education. This portion does require a registration fee, but our sponsors and vendors will receive a designated number of registrations within their sponsorship. The focus of this year’s keynote address will be LEGENDARY SERVICE! When you think of exceptional service, does Chick-fil-A come to mind? It certainly does for us, and that is why it is our pleasure to announce Cody Salomone as this year’s keynote speaker who will be sharing insights from his 22 years of experience with Chick-fil-A which includes 13 years as a franchise owner.
- BUSINESS EXPO SHOWCASE -- Opportunity for local companies/organizations to showcase their business, make connections, and build leads with an engaged audience.
- TASTE OF ASCENSION HAPPY HOUR presented by Express Employment Professionals -- Relaxed networking opportunity that will feature samples from our Ascension food & beverage favorites, grand prizes, and an opportunity to connect with leaders in industry. Exhibitors, sponsors, and luncheon attendees will receive a designated amount of drink tickets for the cashless(card only) bar.
- PASSPORT TO PRIZES presented by Williamson Eye Center -- Our attendees are encouraged to visit each of our vendors to receive a stamp on their passport! Once their passport has been completed, they will have chances to win from a variety of prizes on our prize wall powered by Black Tie Auctions including some GRAND PRIZES!

The deadline to purchase a luncheon ticket is Friday, August 16. Do you have to pre-register by Friday, August 16 to attend the Expo?

What is the Taste of Ascension Happy Hour? A casual networking opportunity with prizes, expo booth showcase, cashless bar, and 11 restaurant and beverage vendors providing samples. What is the Ascension Public Schools Partners in Education (PIE)? The Ascension Chamber and Ascension Public Schools are working together to create opportunities to enhance interaction between community business members and our schools through a newly formed program called Ascension Partners in Education (Ascension PIE). We know that strong school partnerships build stronger communities. Your talents, resources, and expertise are valuable assets for our students and can widely expand ?real world? learning at every grade level! Our goal is simple: Match at least one business/industry partner with every school to create meaningful academic support programs that are mutually beneficial for the school and community partner. |
