6 EXHIBITOR TABLES ARE STILL AVAILABLE - The McDowell Chamber will be hosting our next NETWORKING + CONNECTIONS EVENT on Thursday, November 12th from 5:30pm - 7:30pm, location will be at The Box Factory located at 29 Logan Street in Marion.

This event is designed for our Chamber Members to come together for networking & learn about other businesses, share business cards and other information, and make lasting connections. We want to give our members a FREE opportunity to participate in a unique way. While members and non-members are welcome to come individually, we want you to have the opportunity to participate with your very own exhibitor table. This is your chance to bring along a table-top display, including sample products, business cards, marketing/promotional information, etc. We provide the tables & you provide the rest!

In addition, if you are able, please consider bringing ONE door prize to be raffled to participants that attend this informative event.

We have space for 15 exhibitor tables, with only 6 remaining. We anticipate a crowd of 60+ individuals. Our past networking events have brought in around 100 people at each event. These tables will be provided on a first come, first serve basis and you MUST reach out to me to confirm a table. Please email [email protected] to reserve your table on or before November 5th.

We can't wait to see you at the event!

One of the greatest benefits of being part of a Chamber is the opportunity to build relationships, open doors, and connect with people who share a commitment to strengthening our business community. And sometimes, those opportunities extend well beyond our county lines!

On Tuesday, November 10, we're joining five of our neighboring Chambers for a Regional Networking Event at Sierra Nevada Brewing Company in Mills River, and I'd love to see McDowell County well represented!

This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with business owners, professionals, and community leaders from across Western North Carolina. Whether you're looking to grow your network, explore new partnerships, or simply enjoy an evening with great people, this is an event worth making time for.

Date: Tuesday, November 10, 2026

We'll be joining our Chamber friends from Asheville, Brevard/Transylvania, Carolina Foothills, Haywood County, and Henderson County for an evening of meaningful connections, great food, and regional collaboration.
