The Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) and the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism (ROOST) are hosting a business after-hours event on Wednesday, May 13 at the Conference Center at Lake Placid from 5:00 - 6:30 p.m.
ROOST and ORDA have collaborated for several years to host these events, sharing information about summer plans, upcoming events, local business activities, and to encourage professional networking among attendees.
According to ROOST COO Mary Jane Lawrence, this month’s event is offering a slightly different format. “We are presenting a new micro-learning format at the Business After Hours event,” she said. “It will feature a series of 5-minute presentation stations aimed at conveying key information from both ROOST and ORDA which will be sharing information about optimizing business listings, ROOST toolkits for businesses, media assets for use by businesses, the Olympic Authority reciprocal program allowing local businesses to learn more about the Olympic venues, Lake Placid conferences and group sales, and more.”
Representatives from the Olympic Authority and ROOST will also share information and updates about a variety of projects, attractions, activities, and events taking place during the summer months.
ROOST will also introduce the Adirondacks, USA Marketplace, an exciting new initiative designed to showcase products from locally based retail businesses and artisans launching this summer. Developed by ROOST to connect shoppers with products from retailers throughout the region, it is supported by ROOST’s marketing initiatives, creating valuable connections between local businesses and ROOST’s audiences. Adirondacks, USA Marketplace will support a wide range of vendors, including retail, local artisans, and specialty goods.
The event is open to business owners, managers, administrative team members and frontline staff at businesses throughout Essex County. Those wishing to attend should pre-register by emailing Kristin@ROOSTadk.com.
