31 Mar Silver Bay YMCA To Host April Networking Event: Shoreline Social
The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce (TACC) will host its next networking event, Shoreline Social, on Thursday, April 23rd, 2026, from 5:30 – 7:00 PM in coordination with Silver Bay YMCA, located at 87 Silver Bay Road, Silver Bay, NY. The Shoreline Social will take place at Gullen Lounge inside The Inn.
Shoreline Social is part of the Chamber’s refreshed series of networking events, designed to bring Chamber Members, area businesses, and organizations together in a relaxed and engaging setting. The event will provide attendees with the opportunity to make new connections, strengthen existing relationships, and learn more about fellow businesses and organizations throughout the region.
Door Prize Sponsors for this event are Brannock Properties, Dolly & the bean, Ti Automotive, UVMHN-ECH, and Tromblee’s Greenhouse & Gifts.
The Chamber is also excited to introduce two new networking incentives for 2026 designed to encourage even more participation and connection throughout the year.
- Double the Members. Double the Prize. When you bring another Chamber Member to a Chamber networking event, both of you will be entered to win a prize. More faces, more connections, more fun!
- The Networking Challenge gives attendees the opportunity to earn points throughout the year. Every Chamber networking event attended earns one point, with bonus point opportunities available at each event. Points will continue to add up all year, and the Chamber Member with the most points at the end of 2026 will receive a grand prize.
“Networking is one of the most valuable benefits of Chamber Membership, and we’re excited to continue building on these opportunities with Shoreline Social,” said Erin Mullen, Member Service & Events Manager for the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce. “We encourage our Members to bring a fellow Chamber Member, make some new connections, and take part in our new networking challenge. The more involved you are, the more opportunities you have to grow your business or organization, strengthen relationships, and have some fun along the way.”
The Chamber’s networking events serve as an important membership benefit, offering a welcoming atmosphere for networking, collaboration, and business visibility. Host locations also have the opportunity to showcase their facility, services, and hospitality while strengthening community connections.
Silver Bay YMCA, a Conference & Family Retreat Center, has been welcoming guests to the shores of Lake George for more than 100 years and provides a unique setting for retreats, conferences, vacations, and events. Attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful waterfront setting while networking with fellow Chamber Members and Ticonderoga Area professionals.
Chamber Members, area businesses, and organizations are encouraged to attend and participate. Attendees are welcome to stop by for any length of time during the event. Chamber staff, ambassadors, and board members will be on hand to welcome guests and assist with introductions.

3 Myths about After Business Mixers & Networking Events BUSTED!
Myth: I don’t have time to go to After Business Mixers.
Busted: You don’t have to be there from 5:30 – 7:00. Stop by for 15 or 20 minutes and make some great new contacts.
Myth: It’s awkward…I won’t know anybody there.
Busted: Ask for a Chamber Ambassador or Board Member when you arrive. These outgoing volunteers will introduce you to the crowd and then you will know lots of people. You can also connect with an Ambassador, Board Member, or TACC Staff Member ahead of time.
Myth: I don’t need to go – I’m on social media.
Busted: There is no substitute for face-to-face networking. People do business with people they know…so come to After Hours and get to know more people.
No excuses – we’ll see you at the next After Business Mixer/Networking Opportunity!
