Après Business: Annual Celebration & Awards Ceremony

Description

Bundle up for an evening of celebration at the Leawood Chamber’s Annual Celebration, set for Thursday, January 15 from 4:30–7pm at The Lodge at Ironwoods. This year’s theme, “Après Business,” brings cozy ski-lodge vibes to one of our most festive nights of the year. 

Guests will enjoy a variety of festive food and drinks throughout the evening, featuring a creative winter-inspired menu of warm and cold appetizers, a signature grazing station, and a build-your-own mac & cheese bar with all the fixings. Save room for the mini dessert display, offering an assortment of bite-sized sweets like truffles, lemon bars, brownie bites, and macarons. Pair your bites with a selection of beer, wine, and seltzers—or warm up with a cozy Hot Toddy. Don’t miss the photo ops with our walking abominable snowman and the glowing igloos perfect for lounging and snapping pictures with friends!

The evening features a brief program (just 20 minutes!) with remarks from Chamber leadership as we reflect on 2025 and look ahead to 2026. We’ll also honor standout members with the presentation of our annual awards: Hall of Fame Inductee, Small Business of the Year, All-Star of the Year, and Ambassador of the Year.

Tickets are $65 for Chamber members, $75 for non-members, or $550 for a reserved company table of eight.

Mark your calendar, purchase your ski pass (event ticket) and get ready for a magical evening of networking, celebration, and winter-themed fun—you won’t want to miss it!
