Being able to speak to the Chamber’s Science & Technology committee was a fantastic opportunity. Not only did it allow me to connect to local business owners, but it gave me the opportunity to talk about my true area of expertise in a comfortable setting. Speaking about the things that fuel and drive us is the best way to connect to people and demonstrate value. For people with a true mission to promote thought and conversation, it’s so much better than trying to make a sales pitch.”
The film & television industry plays an important role in diversifying our economy and generating a positive impact on tourism. We applaud the Chamber of The Palm Beaches Tourism Task Force for engaging a network of experts and business partners to share innovative efforts and inspire creativity that will aid in the recovery of our tourism industry in Palm Beach County.
We truly enjoyed our participation with the Chamber of Commerce of the Palm Beaches in their Tourism Task Force to help provide marketing insights and best practices to members during these unprecedented times. The positive atmosphere and enthusiasm that Kelly & Kirby bring to support their members is exciting and contagious! Thanks again for having CBS12 News & Compulse Integrated Marketing as a guest presenter! #SupportLocal #ShopSmall
It was a pleasure sharing the latest “State of the Tourism Industry” with the Chamber of The Palm Beaches Tourism Task Force. I commend the Chamber for establishing this forum aimed at discussing opportunities and seeking solutions that will improve our county’s appeal and marketability as a travel destination.”
I want to thank the Chamber for the opportunity to share our insights about growth marketing with the committee and its members. The Chamber actively sought opportunities for us to help promote our business to the community. The Science & Technology Committee is a great forum to share ideas and strategies for growing all of our respective companies here in Palm Beach County.
The recent networking event was wonderful. I was able to connect with a variety of local business owners and everyone was friendly and professional. I was delighted to discover that there is some good synergy for business opportunities between the ministry and some of these businesses. Special thanks to the Chamber for organizing such an excellent networking opportunity for a nonprofit business like ours!
