BINGHAMTON - Instead of seeking new methods of business survival during the current economic slump, the Greater Binghamton Chamber of Commerce is focusing on its No. 1 existing service to members: providing businesses with networking opportunities.
"The trade show is an important example of that," said Lou Santoni, chief executive officer and president of the chamber, talking about the annual business show scheduled for Thursday at the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena.
Along with the yearly show, the chamber has monthly events, including mixers and luncheons, that allow business-to-business networking. The luncheons, Santoni said, are popular, typically drawing 50 to 60 people.
"It's been a very successful program for us," he said.
The chamber regularly hosts seminars, which serve as both a networking and education tool for its 840 members, Santoni said.
The next seminar is a forum on health care, which will give business owners information to help them navigate the expensive road of health care for employees, he said. The event is scheduled for April 29 at the Binghamton Regency
