The Southern Ocean Chamber of Commerce will host its Business Forecast Breakfast on Thursday, October 15, 2026, bringing together entrepreneurs, business owners, and managers for an informative morning focused on preparing for the year ahead.

Designed as an end-of-year educational and networking opportunity, the Business Forecast Breakfast will feature presentations from industry professionals covering three key areas: Financial, Accounting, and Marketing & AI.

The Chamber is currently seeking three Presenting Sponsors, with each sponsor serving as a featured presenter during the breakfast. Presenting Sponsors will have up to 15 minutes of presentation time to share valuable insights, trends, strategies, and practical information with attendees.

Presentations may focus on topics including:

• Financial: 401(k) and retirement planning, current market outlooks, investment opportunities, and wealth management strategies
• Accounting: Year-end tax opportunities, planning ahead for 2027, budgeting and financial forecasting, and business tax and accounting updates
• Marketing & AI: Marketing trends and strategies, leveraging AI in business, and tools to improve efficiency and growth
  
  

“Businesses are already looking ahead to 2027, and this event is designed to give them practical information they can use to make informed decisions,” said the Southern Ocean Chamber of Commerce. “Our presenting sponsors will have the opportunity to showcase their expertise while providing valuable educational content to the local business community.”
