Make new connections, business partners, collaborators, and potential clients that, like you, are working to grow your business. Showcase your business – whether through sponsorship, attendance or participation – to a wide community. Take advantage of business resources and presenters that can help you navigate potential pitfalls. And more!
We hope you’ll join us at our next event and throughout the year!
SIGNATURE ANNUAL EVENTS
Join more than 600 of your fellow business leaders and community champions for the premier business event of the year, featuring networking, dinner and a prominent speaker.
Each spring, we recognize and honor businesses, organizations and individuals that have made a positive impact on our community.
A business favorite from the early 2000s, our business expo returned in 2024 and features more than 70 local businesses showcasing themselves to hundreds of attendees from Rock County and beyond.
Spend a day with us on the links networking with local businesses, entertaining clients and winning prizes from our members – oh, and playing a little golf, too.
REGULARLY-SCHEDULED EVENTS
Typically the second Thursday of each month, it’s not surprising to see more than 200 attendees at our monthly networking BA5 events. How many of them you meet and create lasting business relationships with is up to you!
BreakFAST With BMO
Held six times each year, our BreakFAST With BMO events offer presentations on critical topics that affect business and our local community. They are typically held from 7:30-9 a.m. and feature designated time for morning networking before the featured presentation. Recent topics have included cybersecurity, economic outlook, workforce development, aligning your business’ financial goals with your personal financial goals, and more!
