After 2 years of moving the event virtual, the Chamber is excited to not only bring it back in person but try a new spin on the event. With a focus on networking and celebrating we are moving to a food station style dinner where guests will be able to move around freely, connect and celebrate with finalists and other chamber members while still enjoying dinner, drinks, and the professionalism the Business Excellence Awards are known for. Following dinner all will move to the main auditorium in the Burlington Performing Arts Centre for the formal award proceedings (Oscar style)!
