The Manatee Chamber of Commerce will be holding a networking event this August at Firkins Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Mitsubishi in Bradenton.

Business After Hours is a series created by the Manatee Chamber of Commerce that allows business leaders to host events that encourage casual networking between guests and fellow Chamber members. Each meeting provides attendees with complimentary lite bites and alcoholic beverages. Those who intend to participate in the networking party can use business card printing services to exchange contact details with new connections.

There are currently over 2,000 businesses that are members of the Chamber. The organization has offices that are located in Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch. Many events are held by the group, including educational webinars and connection lunches.

Business After Hours will be held on August 11 from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Admission is free for those who are members of the Manatee Chamber of Commerce, though future members can pay $10 to attend the networking session. Registration is not required to join the event.
