Make mine a quad, please!



 

Go big or go home, right? After seeing the java culture around the PNW explode over the years, I went from a typical black coffee order to a hot, quad shot, oat milk, no foam, vanilla latte, splash of hazelnut, essence of cinnamon, and a touch of #SupportingLocal. However you drink it, or order it, join us for a cup or two! 

 
Coffee & Connections – Wednesday, September 2 | 8 AM
On Wednesday, September 2 at 8 AM, meet up with us virtually for the Chamber’s premiere Coffee & Connections event where we’ll connect members over small-group video chatrooms, offering a unique platform to continue meeting new businesses around the region. 

Coffee & Connections is designed to accelerate business contacts, share the latest industry trends, introduce prospective clients, and gain access to necessary resources that will foster a company’s growth and development. 

          A Presentation Platform: Each event will feature a Presenter, a Chamber member business, broadcasting a 5-7 minute conversation/presentation to all attendees about their mission, expertise, and services. During the presentation, guests in attendance can ask questions in real time! 

          Visible Sponsor Recognition: In addition to attendee’s personal profiles as easy marketing opportunities, we have designed the Coffee & Connections interface to display all event sponsor logos as clickable links, allowing the option to “Learn More” in a new browser tab. 
 

Don’t miss the series premiere of Coffee & Connections on Wednesday, September 2 – and don’t forget to bring your coffee!
