Mt. Pleasant’s Premier Annual Business Event!
October 08, 2008


Judges Voted Michigan Spine & Pain #1 Booth for 2007 Expo

Each fall, members of the Mt. Pleasant Area Chamber of Commerce come together for a one-day event to exhibit their products and services. Business Expo is the largest single business event each year in Mt. Pleasant, and it attracts both exhibitors and attendees from as far away as Lansing and the tri-cities of Saginaw, Midland, and Bay City.

Show Times:
The show runs from 1 p.m. – 7 p.m. on Wednesday, October 08, 2008 at the Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort Entertainment Hall in Mt. Pleasant.

Exhibitors: Business Expo showcases the “Who’s who” of the Mt. Pleasant area business community.  Check out our impressive list of exhibiting companies from last year:  Business Expo 2007 Exhibitors

Admission Tickets:
The cost to attend the show is $5 at the door, but getting free tickets is easy. All exhibitors distribute FREE tickets to people they want to attend. Also, FREE tickets are available at the Chamber office downtown. Finally, you can print your own FREE admission ticket right off this website. Tickets are not yet created for the 2008 event. Please check back.

Sign-up Brochure:

There is no better way to “plug in” to the Mt. Pleasant area business community than exhibiting in Business Expo. You will make important business contacts, both business-to-business and business-to-public. Networking is what the Chamber is all about – it just makes sense!

In an effort to reach out to nonprofit organizations and service clubs, the Mt. Pleasant Area Chamber of Commerce offers special display opportunities at Business Expo in which small non-profit organizations may display at a greatly reduced rate. They must be a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

One of the reasons for the success of the show is the active participation of the exhibitors – it is their show. They help to distribute thousands of admission tickets and personally invite people to attend

Door Prizes / Silent Auction

   2007's Grand Door Prize was a $500 Airline Voucher compliments of Capital City Airport.

Business Expo exhibitors generously donate high quality gifts and door prizes as a way of saying, “Thank you,” to people for attending the show. It is easy to enter – just sign up for them right at the exhibitors’ booths. Last year the Grand Door Prize was a $500 Airline Voucher compliments of Capital City Airport.

We also have a large “Silent Auction” where members contribute major prizes (minimum of $100 up to thousands of dollars). The Silent Auction is used as a fundraiser for the Chamber. It is also a great way for bidders to get great deals on great prizes, often at a fraction of the regular price, while helping the Chamber at the same time.

Silent Auction items are available for viewing during the entire show, with all bidding coming to a close around 6 p.m. when winners are announced.

 

Business After Hours (BAH)

Every month, the Chamber sponsors the most significant business networking events in the Mt. Pleasant community. They are called, “Business After Hours.” They give Chamber members and their guests a chance to mix and mingle and make important business contacts. The largest of these events each year occurs at Business Expo. It will be from 5 – 7 p.m. located in the Business Expo exhibit hall and everyone is welcome to attend. Entrance fee is only $5.

Media Coverage/Show Publicity:
Since Business Expo is such a significant business event, it always gets excellent coverage in the media, such as the Morning Sun newspaper. Also, radio stations broadcast live “remotes” from the show that include the top radio personalities.

Why Attend?:
So, why should you attend? If you are interested in business in the greater Mt. Pleasant area it is THE place to be on October 08th. Not only will you get a chance to view the exhibits of more than 100 businesses and meet their representatives, attending the show is just plain fun! Business is all about building relationships. So why not go where the business people congregate? There is no place better than Business Expo to do that.

For exhibitor information, please email or call April Osburn, VP of Membership and Programs, at the Chamber: (989) 772-2396
