Small Business Expo Celebrates 'Entrepreneurship, Innovation, Community' In Northbrook

NORTHBROOK, IL — The theme of this year's annual expo is "Passport to Small Business," a theme organizers say encourages visitors to explore, engage, and discover all that local businesses have to offer.

The Northbrook Chamber of Commerce will once again host the small business expo, this time between 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. July 21, at the Renaissance Chicago North Shore Hotel, 933 Skokie Blvd. The community is invited to attend this high-energy event.

"This is one of our favorite events of the year," Northbrook Chamber President Kathi Quinn tells Patch. "It's a celebration of entrepreneurship, innovation, and community. Whether you're looking for a new dentist, a trusted financial advisor, or your next favorite service provider, the Expo is a great place to make those connections."

Featuring a few dozen local businesses, service providers, and community organizations, the Expo offers a "dynamic opportunity" for residents and business leaders to connect directly with the people behind Northbrook’s vibrant business community.

Attendees will enjoy interactive exhibits, product samples, door prizes, and a festive networking atmosphere.

Admission is $20 (advance registration) and includes two drink tickets, and all are welcome — from curious residents to seasoned professionals and entrepreneurs. The cost is $40 for walk-ins.
