WHAT. A. YEAR. DURHAM!

2026 has been a year filled with meaningful connections, exciting milestones, powerful partnerships, and continued growth throughout the Bull City! Now, it's time to come together, celebrate everything we've accomplished, and close out the year in true Durham fashion!

Join the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce alongside elected officials, business executives, community champions, and industry leaders for our 2026 Signature Holiday Event, an evening dedicated to celebrating leadership, recognizing service, and reflecting on the people and partnerships that continue to move Durham forward!

LET'S TALK ABOUT 2026!

From welcoming new businesses and celebrating ribbon cuttings to strengthening relationships, supporting our nonprofit community, and creating opportunities for businesses of all sizes, the Durham Chamber has been BUSY!

This year, we've continued to bring our business community together through signature events, networking opportunities, conversations about Durham's economic future, and initiatives designed to connect, grow, lead, and SERVE!

We've celebrated entrepreneurs chasing their dreams, businesses investing in our community, organizations making a difference, and leaders working every day to ensure Durham remains a place where businesses and people thrive.

And NONE of it would be possible without YOU, our members, partners, volunteers, and community leaders who continue to show up, invest, collaborate, and make Durham the incredible place it is!

AN EVENING OF CONNECTION, CELEBRATION & RECOGNITION!

Our Signature Holiday Event will feature a festive networking reception, remarks from public officials, and an opportunity to reflect on the progress we've made together while looking ahead to the possibilities of 2027 and beyond.

One of the highlights of the evening will be the presentation of the Duke Energy Citizenship and Service Award!

For the past decade, this prestigious recognition has celebrated individuals whose exceptional leadership, dedication, and service have made a lasting impact on Durham.

Past honorees include former Durham City Manager Wanda Page, RDU President Mike Landguth, retired PNC Executive Lori Jones Gibbs, former Durham Mayor Bill Bell, and so many other incredible leaders who have helped shape our community!

SO... WHO WILL RECEIVE THIS YEAR'S HONOR?

You'll have to join us to find out!

LET'S CLOSE OUT 2026 TOGETHER!

Whether you've been part of the Chamber family for years or joined us in 2026, this is YOUR opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, build new relationships, celebrate our collective successes, and toast to another exciting year ahead!

Because at the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce, we know that our greatest strength isn't just the businesses in our community, it's the PEOPLE behind them!

So come ready to connect, celebrate, and enjoy an evening filled with holiday cheer, community pride, and the energy that makes Durham unlike anywhere else!
