Greater Utica Chamber of Commerce to host Best in Business Showcase on Wednesday

UTICA, N.Y. — The Greater Utica Chamber of Commerce Best in Business Showcase is set for Wednesday afternoon (Sept. 27) from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Radisson Hotel in downtown Utica.

The event was previously known as the Greater Utica Chamber of Commerce Community Business Expo.

The newly re-named and “re-focused” Best in Business Showcase will have a greater focus on business-to-business networking in a “more intimate setting,” the Greater Utica Chamber said in a news release.

The chamber contends it will allow the “area’s best businesses to showcase” what they have to offer to the business community and the general public. More than 70 local businesses plan to exhibit their goods and services.

“We are hoping this new, intimate, business after hours-like format will help attendees conduct commerce that evening, and beyond. In order to encourage more attendance, we have also changed the hours from the afternoon to the evening, so it will be less likely to interfere with work schedules” Meghan Fraser McGrogan, executive director of the Greater Utica Chamber of Commerce, said.

The Greater Utica Chamber of Commerce produces the event in partnership with Poland, New York–based Kessler Promotions. Poland is located in Herkimer County.

Tickets are still available for purchase by visiting www.greateruticachamber.org or calling the chamber at (315) 724-3151.
