Planner Spotlight: Alaska Chamber

The Alaska Chamber hosted their Fall Forum in the newly updated convention center. With an agenda full of board meetings, presentations, panel discussions, and breakout sessions, the Chamber’ s 250 delegates were able to utilize the unique spaces throughout the entire venue. When it was time for lunch, chartered catamarans picked up attendees at Crescent Harbor, conveniently situated next door to Harrigan Centennial Hall’ s waterfront location. Attendees ate their gourmet boxed lunches on the Sitka Sound alongside bubble feeding humpback whales. Additionally, Harrigan Centennial Hall’ s central location gave Alaska Chamber attendees ample access to downtown shops, nearby marinas, and comfortable, highend lodging— all only a short walk away.
