Workshops
Workshops are a chamber business-growth initiative that gives local businesses practical learning opportunities close to home.
The Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce hosts and partners on educational sessions for member businesses, entrepreneurs, managers, staff, and non-profit leaders. Topics change with local needs, but the goal stays the same: help businesses build useful skills, find good information, and connect with people who can help.
What workshops can cover
Workshop topics may include:
- Marketing, social media, websites, email, and local promotion
- Business planning, bookkeeping, pricing, and cash flow
- Hiring, retention, workplace culture, and staff training
- Customer service, tourism readiness, and visitor-facing sales
- Grants, funding programs, and application readiness
- Safety, accessibility, regulations, permits, and local business requirements
- Artificial intelligence, digital tools, and small-business productivity
- Succession planning, buying or selling a business, and growth planning
Why workshops support business growth
Local businesses are busy. Workshops give owners and teams a practical way to learn without having to travel far or sort through everything alone.
- Members can build skills that help them market, manage, and grow
- New businesses can connect with local support early
- Established businesses can keep up with changing tools and customer expectations
- Local experts and partner organizations can share knowledge with the business community
- The chamber can respond to common questions it hears from members throughout the year
Events calendar
Individual workshops are listed on the chamber’s events calendar when they are scheduled.
Some workshops may be chamber-led. Others may be offered in partnership with local businesses, Community Futures, municipal partners, tourism partners, provincial organizations, or subject-matter experts.
