Chamber Social Network


Members are extensively promoted through the Chamber of Commerce official area network, official mobile app, official calendar network,
 and search engines. 

Organizations Can Now Get FREE SYNDICATED Calendar

Features All Community Events On One Calendar

The Chamber offers a SYNDICATED CALENDAR system that can host all events for the Anthony Wayne community. You can request the calendar code from the Chamber for your own website. It will show only your events on your website, but all events are automatically added to the official calendar for the Anthony Wayne Region on the Chamber website and mobile app.

The Chamber's Official Calendar Network has been created to help our communities easily interconnect all of their businesses, organizations and events. Once in place, an advanced central calendar network will make it easy to promote the region through the Chamber's Official Mobile App and Chamber's Official Area Network. Imagine ONE CALENDAR FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. Easily accessed through websites, search engines and mobile applications, users can select the particular organization to see only their events, or look at all community-wide events at the same time. Community event planners love it because they can coordinate and plan non-conflicting events with ease. Calendars and events have a dramatic impact on local economic development. We don't take calendar management lightly.
