Connect with businesses in our region2008 Penobscot Bay Business Expo
“Technology - Making the Connection”
Connect with new technology
Connect with ideas to help your business grow
This year the Penobscot Bay Regional Chamber of Commerce wants to help you connect at the 2008 Penobscot Bay Business Expo. We have an exciting new format that will give exhibitors and visitors more time to connect with each other.
Join us for workshops and seminars in the morning before the show floor opens. The floor will open at 1:00 pm with a keynote address and kick off and stay open until 7:00 pm. This allows more time in the morning to set up and allows for your staff to attend the workshops and seminars while not removing visitors from the show floor.
The Expo floor opens at 1:00pm where Business-to-business interaction begins. From 5:30 and continuing until 7:00 pm the Knox County Ballroom and State of Maine hall become the largest After Hours on the Coast for all our exhibitors.
There will be live entertainment, refreshments and a relaxed atmosphere for the last hour and a half of the show. This is the perfect opportunity to capture the crowd on the way home from work and who, in the past have missed the chance to attend. As always the public is invited and encouraged to attend free of charge for all events. As a result of the early evening hours we expect a significant increase in visitation to the event over prior shows.
