The last few years have brought a lot of change within the Public Sector in Alberta. Newly elected governments are taking shape while dealing with supply chain issues, inflation, global political & market challenges, natural disasters, environmental and social commitments.
All these factors are changing government policies, departmental priorities, procurement approaches, budget allocations, stakeholders and technology requirements.
Join our Selling to Government Luncheon on October 16 for an informative and interactive seminar featuring Dolan Bogus, an outreach and procurement team specialist from the Government of Canada, to gain a greater understanding of the public sector's constantly evolving priorities. All attendees will have a chance to win tickets to the Friday, Small Business Week Wrap-Up Party and tickets to the Edmonton Chamber Oil Kings Sportsnet Lounge Party at Rogers Place.

Tuesday Power Play: Coffee with the Chamber and the Oilers Entertainment Group host Trade Show Tuesday, presented by Servus Credit Union
In the most anticipated collaboration of Small Business Week, two of Edmonton’s most popular brands partner with a pair of same day events to promote your business.
Molson Hockey House at Rogers Place plays host to a special edition of our wildly popular Coffee with the Chamber networking event. The Edmonton Chamber’s marquee networking event has become THE place to make valuable connections. In its first year, almost three-thousand business influencers have attended and more than fifty non-profit organizations have been showcased at this monthly event. It’s quickly become THE place to be seen and make new connections. Come hear from our special guest the Oilers Community Foundation about the great work it’s doing in the community and how local charities can apply for support.
Immediately after the conclusion of Coffee, move down the hall with us to Ford Hall for our high-traffic, high-visibility Edmonton Chamber Trade Show. Connect with exhibitors from a broad range of member businesses and learn, first-hand, about the products and services they offer and start new collaborations. This is an excellent opportunity to showcase your business as an exhibitor, so purchase your table top exhibit spot early. First come, first serve – tables will sell out quickly.
Tickets also include rare, Rogers Place tours. Visit the storied Hall of Fame Room, Sky Lounge, Studio 99, Chairman’s Room and Sportsnet Club which will host the Edmonton Chamber Christmas Lounge Party. Food sampling at each stop and details about facility promotions and rentals.
