A Season of Connection for the Business Community
After a busy summer of connections and collaboration, the Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce is excited to offer a few events to continue the momentum of supporting business in our region. And what better way to keep that momentum going than by bringing local business professionals together? Join us at one—or both—of our upcoming networking mixers for an opportunity to connect, build relationships, and enjoy some time with fellow members of the business community.
NEW Networking Mixers
The ARCC is excited to welcome members and guests to two fresh settings for our September and October networking mixers.
On September 24th, from 4:00 – 6:00 pm, Chamber members and guests are invited to enjoy an evening of networking, conversation and connection at one of Lake George’s longtime local favorites—Adirondack Pub & Brewery! Since opening its doors in 1999, Adirondack Brewery has been crafting fresh, locally inspired ales and lagers right in the heart of Lake George Village. With its rustic Adirondack atmosphere, locally brewed beer, delicious pub fare and welcoming setting, it’s the perfect place to step away from the office and connect with fellow business professionals.
On October 15th, from 4:00 – 6:00 pm, the ARCC invites you to check out the Fort Ann tasting room of Springbrook Hollow Farm Distillery. Featuring specialty cocktails, beer, wine and cider, plus outdoor seating and a firepit are available too. Take in the beautiful Adirondack setting, enjoy handcrafted beverages, and connect with fellow business professionals in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
Young Professionals Network gaining traction
The ARCC Young Professionals Network (YPN) is excited to present their second networking mixer of 2026 on September 16th at Bandstand Brew Works in Warrensburg. With a great turnout of 30+ attendees at the June mixer at Dancing Grain Farm Brewery, the YPN leadership took in feedback and went right to planning another event. Bandstand Brew Works was chosen for its relaxed atmosphere and commitment to their surrounding community. Family-owned, with a strong passion for bringing people together, the YPN felt that Bandstand Brew Works embodies the passion and commitment that so many businesses do in our region – making it a great location for a mixer.
ARCC Business Awards
The approaching season of connections also features some celebration. After months of planning the ARCC is ready to celebrate the nominees and announce the winners of our annual business awards on the morning of Thursday, October 8th at the Queensbury Hotel in downtown Glens Falls, NY. Nominated by their peers, and interviewed & scored by a committee of volunteers, each nominee will be highlighted at this breakfast ceremony for their achievements in business and community. The Adirondack Ballroom of the Queensbury Hotel will be packed with hundreds of attendees cheering each nominee on. Then a literal drumroll, complete with attendees drumming on tables, will be initiated by ARCC President Tricia Rogers before the winners are announced. This is one of those events that will leave you feeling proud to live and work in this region we call home.
The celebration doesn’t stop with recognizing business achievements—it continues by bringing our business community together to connect, discover, and build new relationships.
ARCC Business Expo
The annual ARCC Business Expo is an exhilarating business showcase designed to encourage attendees to discover businesses in our region, make new connections and network. This annual event brings the business community together under one roof for an afternoon of networking, discovery and opportunity. Come explore the booths, start a conversation, discover a new business and see what makes our regional business community so vibrant. Don’t miss your chance to see what’s happening across our region! Mark your calendars for Wednesday, November 4th from 4:00 – 6:00 pm.
From recognizing the accomplishments of our region’s businesses to creating opportunities for them to connect and grow, the ARCC is committed to celebrating and supporting our business community every step of the way.
