Tables of Interest
A MULTI-CHAMBER PROGRESSIVE LUNCHEON....ORGANIZED BY INTEREST!
Bartlett Area, Carol Stream, Bloomingdale, Batavia, and Glen Ellyn Chambers of Commerce: Introducing Tables of Interest: A Fresh Take on the Progressive Luncheon
Looking for something a little different than the usual networking luncheon? Tables of Interest is a refreshing twist on the traditional progressive format, designed to spark real conversations and meaningful connections.
Instead of simply moving from table to table to exchange business cards, participants choose discussion tables based on shared interests — from wine, books, and travel to leadership, wellness, and emerging business topics.
Each round brings together a small group of professionals who share a common interest, creating an easy and natural way to connect, learn something new, and build relationships that extend beyond the luncheon.
It’s networking with a purpose — and a little more fun.
An easy way to stay connected to the Chamber community—one conversation at a time.
Tables of Interest move beyond traditional networking events by creating an interactive experience. Attendees progress through different tables during the luncheon, each focused on a unique topic of interest. From industry trends and business challenges to hobbies, travel, and community engagement, these categorized discussions cater to a wide range of interests, ensuring everyone finds a meaningful connection
This format fosters deeper conversations and allows attendees to connect with individuals who share their professional goals and personal passions. It's a powerful way to:
- Facilitate Meaningful Connections: Create opportunities for attendees to discover shared interests and build lasting relationships.
- Promote Collaboration: Encourage dialogue and partnership between chamber businesses in an extended area.
- Table Captains: Each table will have a facilitator asking questions and leading dialogue
- Share your ideas: We're looking for topics that are timely and fun. (see list)
Are you ready to break the mold and create a networking experience that truly connects. Together, we can spark conversations, forge partnerships, and build a stronger, more vibrant business community. Let's make this an event to remember!
Let’s continue our work together to create a vibrant and fun event for our members!
