Business owners, industry leaders, and entrepreneurs from across the South Fork have been invited to the inaugural Hamptons Business Forum, from LTV Studios and the Greater East Hampton Chamber of Commerce, on Monday from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at LTV Studios in Wainscott. Attendance is free.

Chamber of commerce members from Montauk to Westhampton Beach have been invited to network, listen, and learn while sampling food and beverages from sponsors including East Hampton Kitchen, Bottle Hampton, and Springs Brewery.

 Kathleen King, the founder of Tate’s Bake Shop, will be the keynote speaker. 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.
