Business After Hours is a monthly member-only networking event held at a Chamber member location. There is no cost to attend, and there are usually hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar to enjoy, plus door prizes for attendees (you must be present to win). BAH events usually have 100-175 attendees, although the venue capacity can change that. Registration is encouraged, as The Chamber provides name tags for attendees, and hosts plan to have enough food for attendees to enjoy. Learn more...

Keep an eye open for Morning Buzz - these events fill up quickly!

Young Professionals Bloomington, or YPB, is The Chamber's program designed for connecting the under-40 crowd in Bloomington and Monroe County. The monthly gatherings are usually free to attend, and range in theme from professional development to "just for fun" to volunteer opportunities in the community. A highlight of the YPB calendar is the annual 10 Under 40 Awards, typically held in late July or early August. YPB is open to anyone, regardless of Chamber membership.
