Independent Business Alliance Kick-off

Thursday, September 25, 2025 (8:00 AM - 10:00 AM) (EDT)

Description


Small business is the heartbeat of our region—and the Princeton Mercer Regional Chamber is proud to put small business front and center with the launch of the Independent Business Alliance (IBA).

Join us for the IBA Kickoff Event on September 25, where small business owners and entrepreneurs will gain the tools, knowledge, and connections needed to grow and succeed. This program is designed to deliver real, actionable insights: from learning how to apply for grants and access funding, to understanding resources available through community partners, to hearing directly from experts who can answer your toughest questions.

Following the program, attendees will have the opportunity to engage one-on-one with panelists and resource leaders, ensuring that every participant leaves with information that is not only inspiring but also immediately useful.

The Independent Business Alliance builds on the Chamber’s commitment to serving and supporting small business. Through advocacy, education, and connection, the IBA will provide a strong voice for entrepreneurs / small business owners across the Princeton-Mercer Region. Do not miss this chance to be part of the IBA launch and discover how the Chamber is working to make sure small business thrives.
