Business After Hours 2026 Series
Our Business After Hours series brings Chamber members and guests together for relaxed, meaningful connection in some of Cashiers’ most welcoming settings. Each gathering offers an opportunity to build relationships, discover local businesses, and strengthen the fabric of our community.
Chamber members and guests considering membership are warmly invited to attend unless otherwise noted.
Chamber Pot Speed Round 
Add a little fun to your networking with our Chamber Pot Speed Round.
Attendees are encouraged to bring a small gift (low-cost and ideally purchased from a local Chamber member). Drop your business card into the Chamber Pot, and when your name is drawn, step up to give your best elevator pitch or quick promotion. Then pass your gift to the next speaker.
There’s also a White Elephant twist. If another gift catches your eye, you may choose to swap.
Keep it, or swap it — but decide before your pitch ends.
To keep things fair, the first speaker gets the final choice at the end of the round.
It’s a lighthearted way to introduce your business, support fellow members, and spark a little laughter along the way.

Six evenings. Real connections. One vibrant business community.
That’s what Business After Hours is all about.
Our Business After Hours series is designed to bring Chamber members together in relaxed, intentional settings that spark conversation, collaboration, and community pride.
Rather than hosting monthly events year-round, we’ve curated six signature gatherings—May through October—each offering a more focused, high-value experience for our members.
Business After Hours are typically held on the third Thursday of the month from 5:00–7:00 PM and are hosted by a Chamber member. Each evening features light networking alongside a brief business spotlight—giving attendees the opportunity to connect while discovering new ideas, services, and partnerships.
October serves as our grand finale. In keeping with tradition, we co-host this final Business After Hours alongside the annual Landmark’s Chili Cook-Off—opening the doors to the broader community for a festive evening of food, fellowship, and local connection.
New to networking? We’ve got you.
If you’re attending your first Business After Hours, we’ll gladly make introductions and help you feel right at home.
Whether you’re building relationships, growing your visibility, or simply enjoying time with fellow business owners, this is where our business community comes together—after hours, on purpose.
