The Rock Valley Chamber strives to provide quality events for our members. Whether it's learning opportunities, chances to network with other businesses, or the possibility to connect with professionals. These events are key benefits to your Chamber membership. These events are open to anyone who works at a chamber member business. We love getting to connect with our local workforce and encourage you to come join us!
Our members have so much fun at the Mix & Mingle events! Every Chamber business is eligible to host a Mix & Mingle event with certain guidelines when it comes to the beverages being served. There are four of these events throughout the year. There is usually a fun game being played by the attendees, music, and delicious appetizers provided by the host! View the Mix & Mingle Schedule below.
Lunch & Learn's give our members an opportunity to educate themselves in specific areas of business. There are six of these events throughout the year hosted by a Chamber business. Lunch is provided by a Chamber restaurant, and there is a speaker, panel, or round table discussion on the topic at hand for that day. Click below to view the 2024 Lunch & Learn Schedule!
