Business After Hours Sponsored by Earnest Consulting

September 9, 2026 - 10:44

One SouthCoast Chamber is hosting its September Business After Hours gathering later this month, giving local professionals a chance to unwind and make new connections. The event is scheduled for Thursday, September 24, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Cisco Kitchen and Bar, located at 1482 E. Rodney French Blvd.

The evening is sponsored by Earnest Consulting, a firm that works with businesses on financial planning and operational growth. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet colleagues from across the region in a relaxed setting while enjoying food and drinks from the venue.

Business After Hours is a recurring series designed to help chamber members and non-members alike expand their professional networks in a casual atmosphere. Organizers say the format encourages conversation and follow-up connections that often lead to lasting business relationships.

Those planning to attend are encouraged to bring plenty of business cards and come ready to talk about what they do. The event is open to the public, though chamber membership is not required to participate. Registration is appreciated but not mandatory, and walk-ins are welcome.

For anyone looking to grow their local contacts or simply learn more about what other businesses in the area are doing, this is a straightforward and low-pressure way to get involved. The chamber hopes to see a strong turnout as the business community continues to rebuild and strengthen ties after a challenging period.
