The Ascension Chamber of Commerce will host a Business Expo on Thursday, Nov. 1, at the Lamar Dixon Expo Center beginning at 2 p.m. and continuing until 6 p.m. The Expo will take the place of the November Monthly Member's Luncheon and is designed to be the premier introduction to businesses in and around the Ascension community. The Expo will also be a great opportunity for participants to make face‐to‐face contact with potential customers, including fellow vendors as well as a chance to generate immediate sales and leads. All vendors are encouraged to distribute products, samples or promotional items to increase market presence.

General admission is free and open to the public. Not only will there be complimentary food samples and beverages for those who attend, but 2 Ipads will be given away and attendees will be able to take a chance to win a new car or $25,000.

EATEL is the corporate sponsor. Other participating sponsors are BASF, CarliCo Café, St. Elizabeth Hospital and Waguespack & Associates Insurance.
