The Davis Chamber sponsors two Business Building luncheons each week. The first is every Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. at MacCool's Public House in Layton. The second is every Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. at El Matador restaurant in Bountiful. These events are open to any business professional. Each attendee has the opportunity to briefly introduce themselves and their business to the other attendees. Regular attendees then take turns giving the featured presentation (10 minutes) for the week. These informal events draw 20-24 businesses each week and allow ample time for personal networking. The only cost to attend is the lunch you order.

Take your pick: Membership luncheons, ribbon cutting ceremonies, business-after-hours gatherings, training seminars, community events like Northern Utah Business and Economic Summit, Leadership Institute, and Taste of the Town. The variety of events is endless, but every single one is designed to help you network with other business professionals and promote your organization to the public. Check the Chamber's events calendar for full details. Events listed in bold text are open to the public. Standard text listings are for Chamber members only.
