Chamber Hosting Expo, Job Fair Tomorrow

Attendance is free, but registration is required.

The 2011 Gwinnett Chamber Business Expo & Job Fair offers opportunities for more than 200 exhibitors to generate new business and job seekers to approach companies with openings on Thursday, Aug. 18, at the Convention Center at Gwinnett Center from noon to 5 p.m. 

The Business EXPO and Job Fair follows a chamber General Membership Luncheon featuring Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens as the speaker.

A new attraction at the Expo this year is a silent auction presented by Delta Community Credit Union. The silent auction requires potential bidders to scavenge for ‘credits’ to use to bid on items by visiting booths. No money is required to participate in the silent auction.
