Any leader from your chamber of commerce—an internal staff member or an outside leader from another company—can facilitate a workshop. We also recommend having a backup host for your primary host.
Is co-branding permitted?
Yes, it is allowed on all marketing material. We love to show our two brands in an equal partnership that acknowledges the value both bring to the table. However, co-branding is not permitted on our course videos and worksheets.

Meeting Space
Where should we host our meetings?

Attendees
Can non-chamber members attend our workshops?
Each chamber has the freedom to choose how to set this up. Many of our Chambers allow guests 2-4x before asking them to become a Chamber member.
How many people can attend a workshop?
A good workshop can be conducted by as few as 3 people. After the group size reaches 20-25 people, many of our chambers choose to split into smaller groups after the introductions and the video.
With this format, there is no limit to how many could be in a workshop.
Who can attend a workshop?
Our workshops are designed so that anyone, regardless of experience level or job, can attend.
When is a good time during the week to host a workshop?
We have found that mornings work best for people so they can attend and then be on their way.
Can I charge people to attend our workshops?
Yes, but we discourage this. What makes our workshops great is the diversity of attendees. Some people are just getting started, so charging an attendance fee may financially prohibit them from joining in the conversation.
Almost all our Chambers offer this workshop for free as an added member benefit.
​
Ultimately though, whether or not to charge a separate attendance fee is up to you.
Do attendees need to show up every week?
No. Our curriculum is non-sequential, so attendees can come and go as they please.
Should we have people “pre-register” or “sign-up” to attend?
Here are some best practices we have found:
If this is how you normally handle events, go right ahead. We have found that after the first few workshops, you will develop your core group of people, and they will no longer need to register to attend.
Remove the friction points. If registering seems to be a friction point with your members, let them just show up when it suits their schedules. You may have a member who shows up once a month, and that’s ok.
Support
When can I get in touch with Coffee with Champions for support?
