Last night, dozens of people attended the Boise Metro Chamber's September 2023 Business After Hours. The event was hosted by chamber member WaFd Bank which specializes in personal banking, business banking and mortgage/construction lending. Attendees were able to tour the beautiful WaFd Bank IT campus at 5777 N. Meeker Ave., Boise, ID 83713 which was the event's site. Guests enjoyed free beer and cider by chamber member Edge Brewing and delicious appetizers. A few lucky guests won prizes donated by WaFd Bank and Costco. They also enjoyed the music of the talented local guitarist Spencer Batt.

Members and non-members are welcome to attend the Boise Metro Chamber's October 2023 Business After Hours which will be a trade show format hosted from 5-7PM at Hilton Garden Inn Boise Downtown, 348 S. 13th St., Boise, ID 83702. We look forward to seeing you there!

The second Start-Ups and Suds event of 2023 was a great success with over 50 people in attendance! Start-Ups and Suds gives local startup companies exposure and the ability to promote their company with the help of our sponsors and a host brewery. At the September 26th event, Boise Metro Chamber member AIE was the featured startup and Edge Brewing hosted the event (and bought everyone in attendance their first beer!).

This successful event would not be possible without the support of Boise Metro Chamber’s sponsors. The presenting sponsor of Start-Ups and Suds is Perkins Coie. Perkins Coie offers an array of legal services, including mergers & acquisitions, real estate, and general business needs. The event co-sponsor is Zion’s Bank and the exclusive airline sponsor of this event series is Delta Airlines. This event series occurs once per quarter.
