The Merrillville-based Crossroads Chamber will host its annual business expo May 20 at the Dean and Barbara White Community Center.
The chamber anticipates 70 businesses will participate. The expo offers companies the opportunity to showcase their products, missions and services. Attendees can connect with industry professionals, explore a range of exhibitors and gain insights from experts.
“I highly suggest businesses of all sizes and locations to attend and even purchase a booth at this expo,” said Chase Lowden, Crossroads expo committee co-chair, in a press release. “I've made great connections with local businesses that have proven to be fruitful throughout the years.”
The event is geared toward established business owners and entrepreneurs and new business owners.
The day will begin with the chamber’s monthly membership program, focusing on digital marketing. The educational session, titled Work Smarter, Not Harder, will provide attendees with strategies to optimize their websites and marketing channels. The expo runs from 1 to 6 p.m., with a business after hours event 4 to 6 p.m.
“The Business Expo is a cornerstone event for our chamber, bringing together businesses of all industries to build relationships, share ideas and grow their networks,” Deann Patena, Crossroads president and CEO, said. “It’s a chance for businesses to showcase their expertise while making meaningful connections that drive long-term success.”
