We’re throwing a party to celebrate YOU! At the Asheville Chamber, we believe that together, we are more. More opportunities, more connections and more FUN! We’ll have food and drink from some local favorites, activities for kids and lots of opportunities to connect. Live music provided by Rock Academy as well as a performance from the Bailey Mountain Cloggers.
Connecting remote workers to the local business community is central to the AVL Digital Nomads mission. Venture Asheville is again organizing Asheville Entrepreneur Week from 9/12 through 9/16. Our social celebration will be part of the week’s activities. No one ‘socializes’ in Asheville quite like us!
We’re going to the south slope to be close to the festivities. Our first event at Harvest Pizzeria on their rooftop bar, Alta 39. Who doesn’t love a good view of Mt. Pisgah with a cold beverage! So join us up on the top floor (aka the rooftop!), we’ll have our signature name tags to help ease introductions. Rain plan B will be across the street at Catawba Brewing.
We as remote workers are a key component in driving local economic growth, opportunities abound for us to fully participate. We hope to attract other local businesses to our event to come and see just how awesome our members really are.
