Join the Delaware Small Business Chamber on April 2nd for a one-of-a-kind culinary adventure featuring MasterChef Season 2 winner Jennifer Behm-Lazzarini, as part of her highly acclaimed interactive series, "Yes, Chef." This hands-on experience will not only teach you the "secret sauce" of team building, business culture, and boosting profits but also provide a day filled with fun, creativity, and unforgettable memories—perfect for coworkers, friends, and families alike.  Join solo and become part of a group.  If you have 6-8 people, you can create your own group.

Kick off the event with a heartwarming icebreaker, "Favorite Food Memory," where you'll connect with others by sharing personal stories about food and its impact on your life. From there, the action begins! Participants will be divided into small teams, stepping into roles like Head Chef and Taste Tester to tackle the exciting Mystery Box Cooking Challenge. Teams will strategize, collaborate, and innovate using a surprise set of ingredients to create a masterpiece under a time crunch—while navigating an unexpected twist that tests their adaptability.

After the fast-paced cooking session, teams will present their dishes, showcasing their creativity and teamwork, before enjoying a tasting session. A reflection period will allow participants to share their challenges, celebrate their successes, and dive into the importance of collaboration in achieving their goals.

The day will conclude with an awards ceremony, where prizes will be given for creativity, taste, and presentation. Beyond the fun, this experience offers valuable lessons in leadership, adaptability, and communication—tools you can take back to your workplace, business, or personal life.

Don't miss this incredible opportunity to bond, learn, and grow through food! Spaces are limited, so secure your spot today for an unforgettable experience that combines culinary delight with professional and personal growth. 

Sign up now and take the first step toward a stronger, more inspired team!

This is a member's only event

The DSBC 6-Top Mingle is designed to provide a valuable platform for networking with fellow small businesses. These events offer an intimate setting with a maximum of six participants per table, creating an ideal environment for meaningful conversations and building long-lasting connections.
 
At each 6-Top Mingle, you will have the opportunity to showcase your products and services while also hearing from other like-minded professionals who are not directly competing with you. The structure of these events allows each participant to speak for 10-15 minutes, ensuring that everyone has equal time to talk about their company and engage with the group.
 
The benefits of attending 6-Top Mingles go beyond the event itself. By forging relationships with other business people, you can establish a dynamic sales team that mutually promotes and supports each other's businesses. The connections made at these events can be invaluable for growing your network and expanding your reach in the business community.
 
Please note the following guidelines for attending the 6-Top Mingle events:

  1. Only one person per company may attend the 6-Tops.
  2. Restaurants may not be familiar with the term "6-Top," so kindly inform them that you are waiting for up to five other people.
  3. We offer multiple time options for the 6-Top Mingles, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner gatherings. Members may choose to attend one event per month, either upstate or downstate.
  4. Each group may select a “time-keeper” so that no one person should dominate the conversation and everyone should have equal time to speak.

 
To ensure the success of these events, we kindly ask all attendees to be punctual and honor their commitment to attend. If you are running more than 15 minutes late or unable to attend, please contact the Chamber at 302-482-2120 as soon as possible. There is a $10 fee for any member who is late or a no-show without prior contact, as we want to maintain the integrity and effectiveness of these networking opportunities.

Join us for the Delaware Small Business Chamber's Annual Meeting and Blue Ribbon Awards Brunch as we celebrate our 14th consecutive year of recognizing and supporting small businesses throughout the state and region.

From humble beginnings of 24 attendees and three awards, our Blue Ribbon Awards Brunch has grown into a renowned social event, bringing together over 150 prominent business and community leaders. This year's event promises to be just as memorable as we acknowledge the accomplishments of the past year and set our sights on a promising future.

Enjoy a delectable meal while networking with like-minded individuals, all against the backdrop of spectacular views. The brunch menu features a combination of breakfast and lunch items.  For those seeking a little morning indulgence, we will offer a ticket to exchange for a Bloody Mary.

One of the event's highlights will be the presentation of the Blue Ribbon Awards, where we will honor and congratulate the winners and finalists for their outstanding contributions to the small business community. In addition, we are thrilled to announce the recipients of the highly coveted Lifetime Achievement and the President's Award for Business Excellence.

We want to extend an invitation to businesses and individuals to become sponsors for this prestigious event. As a sponsor, you have the opportunity to showcase your brand to a broad audience and connect with new prospects. There are various sponsorship levels available, including the option to be a title sponsor, have your logo featured on some of the awards, become the drink sponsor, be a silver sponsor, or sponsor a table of 8.

Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments of our small business community and gain exposure for your own business. Register today to secure your spot at the Delaware Small Business Chamber's Annual Meeting and Blue Ribbon Awards Brunch.
