Expo, now in its 23rd year, is frequently referred to as
"network heaven"
The Hayward Chamber Of Commerce is proud to present the 23rd Annual Business EXPO, the largest trade show in Southern Alameda County.
This event will showcase both large and small businesses of many types and will again attract 500-600 attendees: chamber members, and other business people from the community as well as the general public. Admission is $10, and 8,000 complimentary tickets are sent to Chamber members and businesses in the surrounding area.
The EXPO is held at Centennial Hall, a convention facility in north Hayward, on Foothill Blvd. (a major thoroughfare about one mile from the juncture of highways 580 and 238). The facility is 140’ x 100’ with many adjacent smaller rooms and can hold about 100 exhibitors in 8’ x 10’ pipe and drape booths with 3’ sides and 8’ backs. Each booth includes a 3’ x 6’ skirted table.
Our exhibitors represent a broad spectrum of Chamber businesses—auto dealers and financial institutions, advertising and retail, telecommunications and educational institutions, health care and not for profits, breweries and restaurants, florists and newspapers, storage facilities and employment agencies. EXPO is appropriate for any business or service desiring hundreds of prospects dropping in to see them in a four-hour period (and at a most economical cost per contact).
During the months preceding the event, articles and pictures will appear in the Chamber’s newsletter, Hayward Business News, which is distributed to all 44,000 subscribers of The Daily Review every other month. EXPO is also publicized through fliers in the Chamber Pak in January and March as well as being listed in the Community Calendar of our buyers’ guide/membership directory and on our web page.
Another publicity source for EXPO includes ads and calendar listings in the local and Bay Area newspapers as well as local cable TV stations. Other major sources of publicity for EXPO are the electronic reader board at Southland Mall on Interstate 880, eSignal’s electronic board on Highway 92, and the marquee for Centennial Hall. There are over 100,000 vehicles passing each of these signs every day.
Corporate sponsorships are
available for $1000 and exhibitors’ fee is $375 for Chamber members and $675 for
non members.
Don’t miss out on the year’s
greatest business and networking opportunity!
