As the largest regional chamber of commerce in WNY, we bring approximately 4,500 people together each year via an unprecedented number of events, meetings, and workshops. Designed to facilitate networking opportunities, encourage business development, support professional development, and drive business advocacy, there is a BNP event for every member of your organization.

Description

Grab your business cards, bring a friend, and prepare to mix and mingle with the region’s young professionals on October 16th.

You'll have a chance to meet representatives from many of the professional development groups that are listed in our 2024-25 YP Connect Guide.
