Host an ACCI networking event
The Albany Chamber of Commerce & Industry coordinates monthly member-hosted networking events as part of our commitment to serve and promote businesses across Albany and the Great Southern region.
ACCI members can showcase their business, boost visibility and connect directly with the local business community by hosting one of our networking events. With options including our monthly Coffee & Connect, Social Sundowners, and our twice-yearly Marketplace Sundowners, there’s a format to suit every organisation and every space.
ACCI members are invited to submit an expression of interest to host either event.
If you already have a preferred month in mind, simply let us know. While we’ll always do our best to accommodate your preference, all expressions of interest will be reviewed and confirmed before bookings are finalised.
Which event is right for you?
Your choice may depend on your preferred time of day, the style of networking experience you’d like to offer, and how many guests you would like to host. Please note that hosts provide catering, so consider the number of attendees you’re comfortable catering for.
