NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES

Business Expo
Learn the secrets to success of some of the Fox Valley’s finest businesses at the Annual “Rolling Down the River Business Expo” each May. Here is your chance to learn about what your business community has to offer.

The Chambers of Commerce of eight towns — Batavia, Elgin, Geneva, West Chicago, Warrenville, Bartlett, St. Charles and South Elgin join together to showcase their member businesses at the annual event. Two hundred booths are filled with local business people who are anxious to share what they do and how other businesses and consumers can take advantage of their goods and services.

It is the largest and most popular business expo in the Western suburbs. The expo offers one of the best matchmaking opportunities of the year for businesses seeking to work with other businesses.
