Networking Opportunities
Build real connections. Grow your business.
At the Cody Country Chamber of Commerce, we believe that business grows best when people come together. That’s why we offer a variety of networking events and professional development opportunities throughout the year—each designed to help you connect with fellow business leaders, exchange ideas, and strengthen your presence in the Cody community.
Whether you're new to town or a seasoned professional, there's a Chamber event that fits your style and your goals.
Cody Club
Monthly. Lively. Local.
Held once a month, Cody Club is our signature networking lunch—part social hour, part community update. Each session features a guest speaker who offers insight into local issues, projects, or opportunities. You’ll enjoy a casual meal, make valuable business connections, and stay informed about what’s happening in Park County. It’s perfect for professionals who want to combine lunch with local engagement. Watch our Events Calendar to see the upcoming programs.
Live After 5
Relaxed. Social. After-hours.
Live After 5 is Cody’s favorite business social hour. These rotating-host events are held at Chamber member businesses and are ideal for those who prefer a more casual, after-work atmosphere to mingle, network, and learn about other companies in town. Expect hors d’oeuvres, drinks, and a chance to show off your business to potential clients and collaborators.
There are no Chamber fees associated with hosting a Live After 5 event. However, the host is responsible for all event costs and organization, and we strongly encourage the host to provide a door prize to promote further engagement. As the host you are responsible for any additional costs incurred (i.e. catering, live entertainment, liquor license fees, etc.). Be aware of the State Statute regarding alcohol, if you intend to serve any liquor/beer/wine at your event.
Live After 5 usually falls on a Tuesday or Thursday at a venue of the host's choosing. The dates are reserved on a first-come, first-serve basis, but businesses are welcome to join our waiting list. The ideal hosting times are between 4:30 PM and 7:30 PM, and we recommend limiting this function to two hours or less.
Whether you choose to host at your business or elsewhere, you should select a space that accommodates the size of the audience that you wish to reach. Consider allowing for audience mobility and promotion of your product or service. Partnering with other Chamber members can provide hosts with the opportunity to pool resources and maximize efforts.
Attendance is free and open to the general public.
Ribbon Cutting Ceremonies
Milestone Moments. Publicity Boost. Community Support.
Whether you're celebrating a grand opening, new ownership, or a major remodel, a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony is the perfect way to mark the occasion. Hosted by the Chamber Ambassador Committee and promoted across our channels, these events draw attention from community leaders, media, and fellow Chamber members. They’re ideal for businesses that want high visibility, photo ops, and a chance to make a strong first impression.
As part of our mission to support the larger business community of Cody Country, you do not need to join the Chamber to have a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. Just reach out to us to set up a date and time! We'll bring the giant scissors—you bring the celebration.
Business-to-Business Workshops
Seasonal. Educational. Growth-Focused.
In the winter months, we host educational series like our Business-to-Business (B2B) workshops and Maximize Your Membership (MYM) classes. These sessions are designed for professionals who want to improve specific skills, get more out of their Chamber membership, or explore new strategies for marketing, management, and growth. Watch our social media and emails for upcoming classes. We choose topics based on member feedback and concerns, so the program is usually decided in real time 1 or 2 weeks before class.
Founders' Day Banquet
Elegant. Celebratory. High-Impact.
Our annual Founders’ Day Banquet is a once-a-year formal event honoring Cody’s business legacy and leaders. Join us for a night of celebration, awards, entertainment, and inspiration. This is a great opportunity to invite clients, show appreciation to staff, and elevate your business presence in a community-wide setting.
