The Salina Area Chamber of Commerce hosted its first-ever Business Expo this year, drawing 72 vendors representing a wide range of industries and business sizes. The event marked the beginning of what Chamber leaders say will become an annual tradition.
Organizers designed the Expo to give local and regional businesses an opportunity to showcase their services, products, and expertise in an interactive setting. Attendees were able to engage directly with exhibitors, network, and learn more about the diverse business community serving the area.
Salina311 was present at the event and spoke with many vendors showcasing their products and services. Exhibitors included JAB IT LLC, Bobcat of Salina, Nex-Tech Wireless, and many others. Vendors offered prizes and giveaways throughout the day, adding to the interactive atmosphere.
“Our intention with this Business Expo was to have it be interactive and engaging—and our businesses delivered,” said Renee Duxler, Chamber president and CEO. “Overwhelming feedback is that it was a great event for vendors and attendees alike, and we are looking forward to growing it as a spotlight on local and regional commerce year after year.”
The Chamber has confirmed plans to make the Expo an annual event, with the goal of expanding its reach and continuing to highlight the strength of the local business community.
