Major Events……………………………………………………
Community & Business Expo
Selling out each spring with 60+ exhibits, the Expo is open to the public and reaches the
largest number of community members of all Chamber events. Extensively promoted
throughout the Valley, this four-hour event in an open social hall is visited by more than
500 people. An annual theme adds interest and continuity among exhibits. Business-tobusiness networking is also strongly encouraged. Registration begins in January and
offers various exhibit spaces.
▪Admission: Complimentary ▪Registration/Sponsorship investment: $245-$3,000
Golf Outing and Clambake
Seen as one of the most successful and favored outings in the area, this September
event is always a fun-filled day of both golf and networking. The scramble format makes
it open and inviting to all. Sponsors and volunteers are afforded opportunities for direct
interaction with every golfer, allowing even non-golfers to spend time on the course.
The day ends with a course-side clambake for all members, regardless of their participation in the outing. Registration for golf begins in March and is limited to 120 people.
▪Sponsorship investment: $100-$4,000 ▪Registration: $45/$140
Evening with the Chamber
The Evening with the Chamber is one of the Chamber’s most well attended events that
provides the opportunity for business members to conduct high-impact networking while
enjoying great food, drinks, and entertainment. The Chamber searches to find creative
venues to add to the excitement of this event. Attendance ranges from 90-125 members
and guests.
▪Sponsorship investment: $500-$1,750 ▪Registration: $60
Specialty Programs and Events…………………....
Staff Appreciation Luncheon
Coinciding with Administrative Professionals Day, this beautiful spring luncheon lets our
members thank and pamper their staff. Everyone leaves with a bag of member-donated,
promotional treats. This event also allows the Chamber to meet your business’ support
staff. Attendance has climbed to 170, many returning year after year.
▪Sponsorship investment: $200-$425 ▪Registration: $25
Community & Commerce Breakfast
Community, business, and municipal leaders come together to celebrate the spirit of our
community by acknowledging businesses and individuals who make a difference in the
Upper Perkiomen Valley. Nominations for an outstanding small business, an effective
educator, and an inspirational community leader are collected and evaluated by a committee. There is always a sense of gratitude and respect among the 120+ attendees.
▪Sponsorship investment: $500 ▪Registration: $20
Legislative Affairs Breakfast
Members are given access to elected officials to learn about pending legislation and
gain insight into current issues by sharing a summer morning with an active state senator,
representative, and congressperson. After brief presentations from each legislator, a
question-and-answer period is facilitated by Chamber staff. An average of 40-60
attendees can be expected.
▪Sponsorship investment: $350 ▪Registration: $20
November Business & Education Breakfast
Held at a local school, the November breakfast highlights the partnerships between
education professionals and member businesses. This breakfast has an average of 70
attendees on average.

Holiday Luncheon
In celebration of the winter holidays, many employers use this luncheon as an
expression of thanks for their employees. An elegant lunch is followed by a choral
concert by the “Uptones.” Because this has been a sold-out event with 140 attendees,
early registration is strongly advised.
▪Sponsorship investment: $425 ▪Registration: $25
Networking Events……………………………………
January, February, March Monthly Meetings
Updated Chamber information is communicated at these regular monthly meetings.
However, much focus is placed on face-to-face networking, particularly the March
Breakfast, which includes a fast-paced, ice-breaking, networking activity.
▪Sponsorship investment: $350 ▪Registration: $20
LinkUp Breakfast Roundtables
These are high-impact networking opportunities. LinkUp was established to facilitate faceto-face introductions at a leadership level (owners, department heads, decision-makers)
in a small-group setting. This event helps members build relationships, encourage referrals, and learn more about each other. LinkUp is open to all members on an “opt in” basis.
▪Sponsorship investment: $350 ▪Registration: Complimentary
Happy Hours
Informal, and complimentary events; these late afternoon gatherings provide the
opportunity to mingle with old friends, make new connections, and invite guests to a
low-key-but-lively Chamber function. Approximately four Happy Hours are held annually,
each at a different member restaurant. The schedule is subject to venue availability. Sign
up as a sponsor by December 31 and get your business logo on the cocktail napkins for
all UPV Chamber Happy Hours.
▪Sponsorship investment: $250 Annually ▪Registration: Complimentary
Continued on back
Business Development Seminars
Averaging two hours each, these affordable and informative sessions cover a variety of
disciplines. Some are presentations, some are workshops, but all have a goal of building the
personal skills of employees at various employment levels. The typically small class size
elicits active participation from all, particularly during the question-and-answer period.
Attendance varies based on the topic offered.
▪Sponsorship investment: $1,500 for 6-8 seminars ▪Registration: $30

excited for the benefits that this collaboration will
provide to our readers and advertisers. In addition to
reduced advertisement rates for members and a broader scope of distribution, the partnership with NexZest
will also allow us to include more content and a more
complete guide to everything that the Upper Perkiomen
Valley has to offer! NexZest will be handling all billing of
advertisements going forward. Please see the insert in
this newsletter for more information and your chance to
take advantage of this great advertising opportunity!
