‘Tailgate Your Way to Talent’ networking event planned for October 12

The Tioga County Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a new event that will help businesses and their employees cultivate strong economic and personal relationships. “Tailgate Your Way to Talent”, sponsored by Tioga State Bank, will be held on Thursday, Oct. 12, from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Owego Treadway Banquet and Conference Center. 

The goal of this gathering is to disseminate resources and impart business knowledge that is pertinent to all levels of staff, while having fun. The tailgate theme lends itself well to playfulness with games, food, drinks, team building, and there will be “timeouts” where short presentations of useful information will be provided. 

At the end of the event, all attendees will receive a packet of resources that encompasses what they learned. The purpose of this offering is to provide face-to-face, personal interaction with a wide variety of businesses and their staff.

Chamber President Gwen Kania stated, “People are more likely to do business with someone from another business, if they’ve met. We are getting a room full of people together to have some fun, to learn, and we will watch what can happen.”

Business people, people with professional associations and non-profit agencies and their staff are invited to participate. You can register or become a sponsor by contacting the Tioga Chamber at (607) 687-2020 or by visiting www.tiogachamber.com.
