Christine Sampson of LTV’s “East End News” program will moderate a panel discussion made up of chamber of commerce leaders from across the region. Following the keynote address and panel discussion, Axel Quincke will perform on LTV’s baby grand piano and D.J. Chile from WPTY 105.3 FM will provide a musical backdrop for networking.

Those who sign up ahead of time via LTV’s website will be entered into a door raffle, with prizes including tickets to LTV events, products from its sponsors, and a grand prize of a 30-second social media reel for their business produced by LTV’s editing team.
