This event is co-presented by the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM), Creative Collective, Salem Main Streets, the Salem Chamber of Commerce, Destination Salem, Salem Partnership and the City of Salem.
If you run a business in Salem, you're invited to a morning of networking and resource-sharing at the Peabody Essex Museum!
The first Salem Biz Town Hall at PEM welcomes makers and restaurants, retailers and real estate, institutions and city officials for a morning of coffee and conversation. Meet fellow business owners and take the opportunity to ask questions.
This gathering aims to foster stronger communication, fewer friction points and a clearer path to getting things done for Salem's businesses and organizations. Join us to build relationships and discuss our shared goals.
Schedule:
8:30–9:30 am: Networking, coffee and a Connect-the-Dots board ("what you have, what you need, what you offer")
9:30–10:30 am: Updates from the hosting organizations and Q&A drawn from questions submitted by registered attendees
10:30–11 AM: Open tabling and follow-up conversations
