The Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce hosts monthly networking events that connect hundreds of community members, and University of Oregon employees can register at a reduced rate, thanks to UO’s membership in the organization.

An upcoming Business After Hours event is the next opportunity to experience the benefits of Chamber membership. The monthly networking event will take place Thursday, July 18, at the Graduate Eugene hotel.

In addition to networking with local professionals, attendees will tour the newly renovated hotel, which features an athletics theme with notable memorabilia and a Topgolf virtual driving range.

The event will include hosted food and drinks, a “staycation” raffle, music and a special guest appearance.

UO employees can register for the reduced rate of $12 in advance or $15 at the door.

Attendees who bring a box of cereal for Food for Lane County will receive an additional raffle ticket. For more information or to register, visit the Chamber website.
