HOUSEKEEPING Event tickets will need to be paid for when they are reserved. We encourage you to go ahead and reserve your tickets and tables now even if you don't know all the names of your attendees. This ensures that you will get your place and we can enter the names at a later date. If you need to make other arrangements, please contact the office. Any open balances will need to be paid by the day of the event or guests will not be able to attend. These new policies were put in place at the July 2023 Budget Committee Meeting due to concern about unpaid event registrations. If you need an invoice in advance, please contact the Chamber office: 618-997-6311. Tickets reservations can be changed through the Friday before the event. If your plans change the week of and you can't attend, we encourage you to send a co-worker or guest to represent your organization and network. Once we turn in our catering numbers, limited tickets will be available and refunds will not be issued.
