The Billings Chamber is launching a transformational capital campaign starting with —reimagining not just our space, but our role in building a stronger, more connected business community.

This is more than a building. It’s a modern hub designed to support today’s workforce, fuel entrepreneurship, and bring leaders together to drive growth across Billings and our region.

Together, we’re creating a place where business meets opportunity—and where the future of our community is built.

One of the best weeks of the year for our local brewery scene is almost here!

Billings Craft Beer Week (May 10–16) is a full lineup of special releases, themed events, brewery collaborations, and plenty of reasons to explore the incredible craft beer culture right here in our city.

All week long, local breweries will be rolling out limited-time beers, taproom events, trivia nights, pairings, and community gatherings that celebrate the creativity behind Billings’ brewing scene. It’s basically a citywide invitation to grab friends, try something new, and support the businesses that make our downtown and neighborhoods so vibrant.

Tag your brew crew and start planning your stops. 🍻


A full week of pints, games, and good times - ending with the Last Best Beer Run in Downtown Billings! It's Craft Beer Week in Billings, MT!

We’ll keep it informative, welcoming, and efficient. Birria taco lunch included — because productive networking pairs well with good food.

Today, NextGEN toured the Yellowstone County Detention Facility for a firsthand look at operations and future planning efforts.

Thank you to Commissioner White and Commissioner Waters for joining us to discuss the future of the facility and provide clarity around future levies and bonds. The open dialogue and transparency were appreciated.

Staying informed on issues that impact our community’s infrastructure and long-term planning is an important part of leadership in Billings.

Last week, NextGEN welcomed new members and returning faces for a New Member Social followed by our monthly NextHOUR, hosted at TEN at the Northern!

The evening created an inviting space for connection, featuring thoughtfully crafted drinks, a beautiful charcuterie board, and easy conversation among professionals from across our community.

We were also pleased to welcome Mayor Mike Nelson, who stopped by to connect with members and show his support for Billings’ next generation of leaders.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening a success. Opportunities like these continue to strengthen our network and reinforce the importance of connection, engagement, and community leadership.
