First Thursday Mixers

What to expect

First Thursday Mixers offer a relaxed atmosphere in which people can connect across industries, make new alliances, share ideas, problem-solve, and learn about our diverse local business community.

In-person First Thursday Mixers are open to the public. Everyone is encouraged to bring a business card and share news; your participation enters you for a chance to win a door prize. Raffle tickets can be purchased at the event.

Members can get noticed by sharing news on our microphone during the “buck a cluck” period at the end of the evening.

Host a mixer

Hosts have the unique opportunity to offer a direct experience of their business to an influential group of people. Review the host agreement, then contact the Chamber office to pick a month.

A zero-waste first

In spring 2016 the Arcata Chamber became the first Chamber of Commerce to offer only reusable dishware at our in-person mixers, which helps the City of Arcata meet its zero waste goals.
