Dear Chamber Members,

We’re kicking off 2026 with something refreshing for your mind, body, and professional network!

Instead of networking as you normally know it, we’re inviting you to slow down, connect, and recharge at our first Business After Hours of the year — hosted at The Portal, Utica’s new wellness and creative studio in the heart of Bagg’s Square.

📅 Tuesday, January 13 | 🕔 5:00–7:00 PM

📍 The Portal – 412 Main Street, Utica

What to expect:

• A beautifully designed space built for reflection and connection — perfect after the post-holiday hustle.
• Curated artisan tea bar, infused wellness waters & regional New York kombucha — think mindful, flavorful sips that support your wellness intentions.
• Creative food offerings from Feast & Festivities, sweet treats from Love & Cupcakes and relaxed conversation.
• Meet fellow business professionals off the usual networking circuit — in a sensory environment designed for clearer thinking and meaningful interaction.

Whether you’re looking to build new business relationships or just want a refreshing way to start the year energized, this is the place to be. Let’s make connection part of your wellness strategy for 2026!
