After Hours
After Hours is the Chamber’s business networking event hosted each month at a different member location. This event gives our local business and nonprofit community a space to catch up, connect, and share news about their work - all while visiting and exploring our island’s unique businesses, parks, farms, and shops.
After Hours events are usually held on the third Thursday of the month, with exceptions, from 5:00pm to 7:00pm. These events are FREE to Chamber members. Registration is required.
A special thank you to our sponsors Bainbridge Brewing and Eleven Winery for providing our guests with locally produced refreshments at these events.
Entrepreneur Meet Up
As thrilling as the entrepreneurial journey is, it can also be a lonely and confusing one. But you don't have to go it alone! There are many in our membership and beyond who would love to share their experiences, advice, ideas, and stories.
Each quarter, we invite entrepreneurs to gather at Sisters' Cider House and connect with fellow startups and small businesses for an unstructured happy hour.
This event is FREE and open to ALL local entrepreneurs.
Thanks to Matchstick Lab for partnering with us to extend our reach to the Kitsap small business community. And a special thank you to BECU, our series sponsor.
Annual Meeting
In lieu of our After Hours monthly gathering, the Bainbridge Chamber community gathers every November for our Annual Meeting. In keeping with our mission to serve as local business advocates and community connectors, we focus our Annual Meeting on how we as a business community “show up and step up” to support healthy economic ecosystems and serve our island community. Each Annual Meeting, we reflect on our past year, honor businesses making a positive local impact, and explore how best to continue forward together in the coming year.
