CONNECTING SMALL BUSINESSES
​IN A BIG WAY

Building quality relationships through strategic networking.

Signature Events


Where can you network, connect and form quality relationships with CEOs, top-level executives, business leaders and government officials who can help you grow your bottom line? At a Vermont Chamber Signature Event or Award Ceremony.

The Vermont Chamber knows the importance of developing strong relationships with people serious about doing business. Our Signature Events are high-value, eagerly anticipated and among the largest events of the year in Vermont. Our events attract influential industry peers not just in Vermont or New England, but internationally as well. 

Our Canadian manufacturing company netted several RFQs (Request For Quotes) at the recent Vermont Chamber’s 2015 Supply Chain Conference & Trade Show. Not only does the Vermont Chamber excel at bringing buyers and suppliers together, from both Vermont and Canada, but in our case has ensured a quick and efficient introduction into several key USA manufacturing markets. I can assure you – we’ll be back again next year.
