The Chamber’s Annual Meeting - 2026

Description

Celebrate a year of achievements and look ahead to the future at our Annual Meeting. This inspiring morning unites hundreds of business and community leaders to reflect, connect and look ahead. This event offers clarity and inspiration as we celebrate our collective achievements while outlining the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. Attendees gain valuable insights from a keynote speaker, learn about The Chamber’s impact and leave energized to strengthen their workplaces and community.

The Chamber’s Annual Meeting brings together business leaders for a high-impact experience that combines national industry insight, local leadership perspective and a clear view of how The Chamber is positioning businesses and leaders for the future.  

This year’s program is anchored in the theme Cleared for Takeoff, a reflection of the momentum building across our business community, the evolution of The Chamber and the forces shaping what comes next for the Fargo-Moorhead-West Fargo region. 

The morning features a keynote conversation with Jeff Davidman of Delta Air Lines, focused on the state of aviation and global industry trends, including what expanding infrastructure, connectivity and mobility signal for regional economic growth and business leadership. His perspective will explore economic movement, infrastructure investment and leadership in a rapidly evolving environment, offering insight that resonates far beyond aviation alone. 

That national lens sets the stage for a Chamber-led conversation connecting big-picture trends to local action. Moderated by Chamber President and CEO Shannon Full, the panel will feature leaders of the business community who have engaged across Chamber programs, events and initiatives. These leaders will share how that involvement has shaped their leadership, strengthened their organizations and influenced The Chamber’s evolution as it looks ahead. 

Rather than a traditional year-in-review, this Annual Meeting takes a windshield approach, emphasizing foresight, alignment and momentum. Attendees will leave with clarity on where The Chamber is headed, how it is responding to the needs of the business community and where they can take action in the year ahead.
