Special Events
| Recognizing accomplishments, celebrating successes and enjoying the company of fellow partners are but a few of the reasons that the Chamber calendar is always full. Our special events are just that: SPECIAL EVENTS! |
| Annual Installation Banquet |
| Each year, the Chamber installs its Chairman and Board of Directors, and recognizes its contributing Partners and accomplishments of the past year at its annual installation banquet. At this event, we also present the Distinguished Service Award, the Chamber's highest honor, as well as the Ambassador of the year, Council/Committee of the year and several other awards. With entertainment, dancing and dinner, this black-tie optional gala is always a sellout, so make your reservations early. |
| Champions Cup Golf Tournament |
|
The 2009 Tournament was a success at Duran Golf Club. Check back for the 2010 Specifics. We will be having a Councils Golf Tournament this fall at PAFB. Details to come!

| Chowder Cook-Off |
| Presented by the Chamber's Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB), the Chowder Cook-off has become one of the premier events on the Space Coast. Each February, as the official kick-off to SeaFest, Chowder Cook-off brings together the finest chefs in the area, each competing for the title "Best Chowder in Brevard". Over 1,000 people attend this event to sample the chowders, along with scrumptous hors d'oeurves, enjoy an evening of entertainment, and vote for the "Peoples Choice" award winner.

| Wednesday Friendsdays |
| By far, one of the most popular networking events, this monthly get-together of Partners takes place on the first Wednesday of each month. Between 300 - 400 people regularly attend, enjoying complimentary hors d'oeurves, beverages and the camaraderie of friends and associates. Several Wednesday Friendsdays feature tabletop display opportunities. Ambassadors are there to assist new Partners in meeting others and many successful and profitable business relationships are started and continued here.

| Military Personnel Community Service Awards |
| The military personnel on the Space Coast contribute countless hours of their nonworking time volunteering their skills to non-profit organizations, schools, places of worship, and community enhancement programs. Each November, the Military Affairs Council (MAC) of the Chamber honors these men and women who not only protect our freedom, but also help out our friends and neighbors.
