The Chamber of Commerce of the Palm Beaches has announced three new events aimed at celebrating leadership, heritage, and community engagement in Palm Beach County.
The first event is the Inaugural West Palm Beach Mayor’s Gala, scheduled for May 2, 2026, at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts. The black-tie gala will bring together civic, business, and community leaders to recognize innovation and entrepreneurship in West Palm Beach. According to the Chamber, “Proceeds will benefit two community-centered initiatives: The Chamber’s Innovation Hub, which provides education, mentorship, and peer support to local entrepreneurs, and the Mayor’s Jumpstart Academy, which provides microgrants and training to small business owners across the city.” The event will feature live entertainment and an open bar.
Another event will take place on September 17, 2025. In partnership with the Historical Society of Palm Beach County and its Avanza Committee, the Chamber is launching a new exhibition titled “Profiles of Impact: Avanzando Hispanic Business Leaders in Palm Beach County” at the Richard and Pat Johnson Palm Beach County History Museum. This exhibition is described as a first-time collaboration between these organizations to honor Hispanic business leadership in various sectors such as architecture, tourism, hospitality, and healthcare. A free opening reception is planned for community members.
The third initiative is the inaugural Chamber Pickleball Cup on November 14, 2025. Set at Gardens Tennis Center in Palm Beach Gardens, this event is designed for networking through sport. It will include mixed doubles matches across different skill levels followed by an awards reception.
“These events reflect The Chamber’s commitment to building meaningful connections, expanding access to opportunity, and celebrating local leadership,” according to a statement from the organization.
The Chamber encourages participation and sponsorship from businesses and individuals interested in supporting these new programs that aim to foster growth within the local business community.
