Great communities are built on strong foundations—and continue to rise through the people, businesses, and ideas shaping what comes next.
On December 2, 2026, the Botetourt County Chamber of Commerce invites you to The Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center for a reimagined Business Expo + Annual Awards Gala celebrating the very best of our region.
This year's theme, ROOTED. RISING., honors the people, businesses, industries, and traditions that built our community while celebrating the leadership, innovation, and partnerships moving us forward.

We'll begin with a two-hour Business Expo & Opening Reception, featuring live jazz, heavy hors d'oeuvres, hosted beverages, a photo booth, giveaways, and opportunities to connect with businesses and community leaders from across the region.
At 6:00 PM, the celebration moves into the ballroom for an elegant plated dinner, an inspiring keynote presentation, and the 2026 Annual Awards. Through powerful video stories, we'll recognize this year's honorees and their contributions to our region, along with a special Public Safety Excellence Recognition honoring those who serve and protect our communities.
