Sample Urbandale, A Celebration of Business

This is the Chamber's most anticipated event of the year!

The event includes an annual awards ceremony, featuring wine, spirits, food sampling, live music, and a silent auction. With 350+ in attendance, it is always the highlight of the year and is scheduled for September 21. We honor our 2023 Citizen of the Year and reveal our 2023 Business of the Year and Connector of the Year. New as of 2022, we also honor a Small Business of the Year and Young Professional of the Year. 

In addition, we have our "Best in Class" awards that include recognizing businesses in 23 different categories with three nominees in each. We unveil all the winners during the event! This jam-packed evening is one of a kind and is the talk of the town!
