The business environment seems to get more competitive all the time. Many of the challenges facing today's businesses are basic in nature and are being experienced by other businesses, regardless of the services they provide.

Following is a list of seminars and workshops offered by the Chamber’s Small Business Council. For more information, call (605) 336-1620 or email Kate Foley.

Business Sense Workshops
Sponsored by the Chamber’s Small Business Council, Business Sense Workshops provide practical information to benefit your business or organization. Workshops are held each Tuesday in January-March. They are “brown-bag” — bring your own lunch — and last for one hour. Topics have ranged from human resources issues, dress code, advertising tips for small businesses, and credit and collections.

Business @ Breakfast
Get your day started with Business @ Breakfast, a Chamber Small Business Council program. This program provides business owners with the opportunity to get together with other business owners to share thoughts on matters of mutual concern to achieve solutions to common problems.

Participants draw upon the collective experience of the Sioux Falls business community and become better acquainted with their neighbors in business. These workshops are generally held during the summer months and feature a variety of topics from workers compensation to identity theft.

Chamber Café
Chamber Café is a series of one-hour programs on a variety of topics presented by Chamber members and their employees in their areas of expertise. All Chamber Café sessions are held at the Sioux Falls Area Chamber of Commerce from April-September on the last or fourth Wednesday of each month.
