The Experience, Emeryville: Emeryville Commerce Connection Event

The Experience:

Tiki madness at the Emeryville Connexions event!

View Emeryville from the water on the deck at Trader Vic’s as you indulge in tasty bites and sip Mai Tais, beer or wine, learn about your new business organization and meet some of the marina businesses.

We are excited to invite you to Trader Vic’s on Wed, May 29, 5:30-7:30pm and introduce you to the ECC, Emeryville Commerce Connection.

The Back Story. As you may know, no one has come forward to start a business organization since the Emeryville Chamber closed its doors 8 ½ years ago. In 2018 the City of Emeryville’s EDAC (Economic Development Advisory Committee) initiated our BizNexus networking events to begin connecting the business community.

Organically, our BizNexus events evolved into the nonprofit 501 (c)(6) organization, the ECC, with the purpose of promoting the common economic interests of its members and the commercial enterprises in Emeryville. Now, the ECC will be producing the networking events, act as a resource & referral network, provide workforce development, a communications platform and promote the City of Emeryville and its business community.

Join us for some fun conversations and nosh on appetizers from the Tahitian Collection as you see old friends and meet new ones.  We at the ECC can’t wait to see you!

Trader Vic’s is located at 9 Anchor Dr in Emeryville. The Emery Go-Round can transport you there!  RSVP 

Where:

All over Emeryville and beyond!
