As a new member with the Nashville Chamber, we're impressed with the level of networking opportunities available to small businesses like ours, and we intend to take advantage of as many as possible. The Regional Business After Hours event allows us to connect with other local businesses and market our services in a relaxed environment. We definitely expect to generate business as a direct result of this exposure.

Business Growth and Development Events

  • Ask the Expert: Live!

    This program will deliver best business strategies and tactics through rounds of eight, allowing attendees to hear from a table facilitator or “expert.” This 90-minute event will include 30 minutes for networking, followed by three 20-minute rounds allowing attendees to visit three different experts.

  • Emerging & Growth Business

    These programs support and enhance the development of growing businesses by providing resources, education and advocacy.

  • Business Bootcamp

    Owners of growing businesses have a lot to wrestle with, and often wind up so busy working IN their business, they forget to work ON their business. In partnership with the Center for Entrepreneurship at Lipscomb University, the Chamber has created a five-session "business bootcamp" that takes a 30,000-foot perspective on running a successful business. Learn how to create a strategic plan; determine critical success factors; build an intentional culture; scale your organization; and create a financial plan. Class size is limited so participants can get the personalized support they require.

  • International Business Council

    Specialized forum to assist local businesses in beginning or expanding existing international trade.
    Average attendance: 50-75. Held at various times throughout the year.

  • Young Professionals

    Networking and educational offerings through our YP Nashville initiative specifically aimed at Middle Tennessee's next generation of key leadership. Programs include the Nashville Emerging Leader Awards (NELAs) and various networking events.
    Average attendance varies from 75 to 300. Held several times a year. Presented by Lipscomb University College of Business.
