Business Agenda for May 24

May 24, 2026 - 18:06

The tri-county area business community is set for a full day of professional development and collaboration on Friday, May 24. A series of events will offer local entrepreneurs, executives, and small business owners opportunities to connect, learn, and plan for the second half of the year.

The morning kicks off with a breakfast roundtable hosted by the Chamber of Commerce at the downtown convention center. Starting at 7:30 AM, the session will focus on supply chain resilience and workforce retention. Attendees are encouraged to bring questions for the panel of regional logistics experts and HR consultants.

Midday brings a luncheon workshop titled "Digital Tools for Main Street." Sponsored by the Small Business Development Center, this event runs from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM at the county library. The workshop will cover practical ways to use low-cost software for inventory management and customer outreach. Space is limited, and pre-registration is required.

For those looking to unwind and network, the evening features a mixer at the Harbor View Hotel from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. This casual gathering is open to all business professionals in the area. Light appetizers and a cash bar will be available. Organizers say the goal is to foster connections across different industries, from tech startups to family-owned retail shops.

All events are open to the public, though some require advance sign-up. Business owners are advised to check individual event pages for any last-minute changes to the schedule.
