From wine clubs to Flippin’ Good Cookies and planes to sharks (the hockey team that is!), the 2010 Beaches Trade Show had a little something for everyone. The annual event, hosted by the Beaches Division of the Jacksonville Regional Chamber of Commerce at the UNF University Center, offered guests great networking opportunities, awesome giveaways, mouth-watering food and a positive vibe for doing business.

Destination Planning Corporation, the 2010 Small Business Leader of the Year, had an ideal location right inside the entrance to the event. Here’s what its sales manager, Natalie Meyers, said at the show:

“The Chamber is a great organization for networking. Our business is mainly referrals and word-of-mouth and there is no better place to get those than working with the Chamber and participating in its events.”

The 2010 Beaches Trade Show was hosted by the Beaches Division of the Jacksonville Regional Chamber of Commerce and was sponsored by AT&T Advertising Solutions, Baptist Medical Center-Beaches, Destination Planning and PRI Productions.

Here’s what Valerie Gossett, president of Premier Resources Travel, had to say about the trade show:

“This event is great – it allows businesses of all sizes to come together, showcase their talents and do business with other Chamber members and the community.”
