2026 Chamber Day at the Capitol

Description

The Chamber of Commerce Association of Alabama invites you to participate in the 2nd Annual Chamber Day at the Capitol, a premier gathering of more than 120 chamber professionals, volunteer leaders, elected officials, and business and community leaders from across the state. This event celebrates the essential role chambers of commerce play in strengthening Alabama’s economy, communities, and workforce. While plans for the 2026 program are underway, last year’s inaugural event drew more than 120 leaders from every region of the state. Attendees heard directly from Alabama’s top state officials—including Governor Kay Ivey, Lieutenant Governor Will Ainsworth, Senate President Pro Tempore Garlan Gudger, Speaker of the House Nathaniel Ledbetter, and House Minority Leader Anthony Daniels—before visiting with their local legislative delegations at the Alabama State House.

Sponsoring this event provides your chamber, business or organization with a unique opportunity to engage directly with influential decision-makers and demonstrate your commitment to advancing Alabama’s growth and prosperity. Your visibility among this distinguished audience underscores your support for the organizations and leaders working every day to make Alabama stronger.

All Sponsorships and Tickets are SOLD OUT.
