Chamber-Sponsored Events

Hoffman Estates Chamber members think of the community as much more than simply the place where their businesses are located. Many Chamber members live here, too. They are raising families here, are involved in local schools, civic and community groups…in short, for many members, Hoffman Estates is their home, too. And whether they live here or not, Chamber members feel a personal connection to the community and its residents. So, community involvement is a natural outgrowth of their personal investment in the community. Take a look at the many Chamber-sponsored events and activities listed below and you’ll see what we mean when we say that Hoffman Estates Chamber members have an “up close and personal” connection to the community:
