MWVCC Celebrates 17th Annual Business To Business Expo, 2015

Premier networking and expo in New Hampshire’s North Country

North Conway, NH – The Mt Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce will present the 17th Annual Business to Business Expo, on Monday, June 1, 2015 at the Omni Mount Washington Hotel from 9:00am to 4:15pm. The annual Business to Business Expo is the largest business networking event of the year in New Hampshire’s North Country. Over 100 exhibitors and 400 participants will join in for a day of networking, idea exchange and educational workshops, all focused on ways to increase prosperity and success in the Mt. Washington Valley. An awards luncheon and a silent auction, with over 130 items for bid round out an exciting schedule. Designed to offer premier networking and sales opportunities while showcasing a wide array of products and services offered by local and regional businesses, this year’s Business to Business Expo offers an excellent opportunity for continuing education and introduction to products and services offered in the North Country. The Expo is preceded by the 14th Annual MWVCC Golf Tournament on May 31st, which kicks off the festivities at the Omni Mt Washington Resort. The golf tournament is now sold out, and closed for entries.

The 17th Annual Business to Business Expo features exhibitors from fields including technology, finance, tourism, health, education, communications, construction, services, media, and non-profit. Leaders and principals from these local and regional companies will be on hand to provide resources, products and services to help Mt Washington Valley businesses grow, understand and embrace technology and succeed. A limited number of booths are still available for exhibitors.  Please contact Scott Gleason at Scott@Mtwashingtonvalley.org for information and booth reservations.  

A highlight of the Business to Business Expo is the Business Awards Luncheon where Mt Washington Valley businesses are honored by their peers. Additionally an award introduced last year in honor of longtime Valley leader, Steve Eastman, will be given to one deserving community-spirited member of the community. Tickets to the Expo Awards Luncheon must be purchased in advance of the expo for $50 per person.  Those who wish to attend the expo and luncheon may register by downloading the online registration form here:  http://www.mtwashingtonvalley.org/MembershipPDF/2015_Business_Expo_Awards_Luncheon_Registration4292015.pdf.
