The Experience
What to Expect
Doors open at 7:30 AM for breakfast and networking. Each program features a headline speaker or panel and a candid, off-the-record conversation with the people shaping business and policy in our region.
The room stays intentionally small: Executives, owners, and senior leaders of Chamber member companies, and the elected officials and industry leaders they want to hear from.
"The Executive Business Roundtable has been an excellent opportunity for executives and CEOs in the region to come together and hear from top level speakers on topics that are important to our businesses. EBRT also provides a valuable networking opportunity for its members."
