Get ready… get set… it’s time for the Ashland Alliance Annual Meeting. This will mark the Ashland Alliance’s 25th year for this annual event. When we hear the word “meeting,” we typically tend to think of something that is boring and time-consuming. However, this isn’t the case with the Ashland Alliance’s Annual Meeting. In fact, Scott Martin, Director of Operations of the Ashland Alliance, describes the annual meeting as, “Northeast Kentucky’s biggest business social gathering.” Martin also shared that this event is open to the entire community. “You don’t have to be a member of the Ashland Alliance to attend the Annual Meeting,” Martin explained.
At the Ashland Alliance Annual Meeting 2023, you'll have the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for business growth and community development. Listen to leaders from the Commonwealth, business, and industry experts, and gain valuable insights about growth happening right here in our region.
This epic social gathering brings together business leaders, professionals, and community members from across the region. Each year, the Ashland Alliance tries to hold its annual meeting around a big event such as a grand opening. This year’s annual meeting has been planned around two of the most highly anticipated grand openings that this area has had in quite some time. “We will be celebrating the grand opening of both Sandy’s Racing and Gaming and Tap That Sports” shared Tim Gibbs, President and CEO of the Ashland Alliance. Tap That Sports opened its doors to the public just a few short weeks ago.
“From the moment the gaming center and racetrack were announced, we have watched the construction, the lines at the job fairs, and counted down the days to the highly anticipated opening of Sandy's Racing & Gaming. Then, to add to the fun, just step next door for a great selection of virtual sports and a wall full of taps, and you have Tap That Sports. Simply stated, this is a fantastic opportunity to make The Ashland Alliance's 25th Annual Meeting unforgettable. You know Boyd County has a lot to be proud of, and this is just a way to be able to celebrate that,” remarked Gibbs.
The event will take place at Sandy’s Gaming and Tap That Sports, which is located at 10699 U.S. 60 right beside Camp Landing on October 26, 2023, from 6:00-9:00 p.m. The event will feature heavy hors d'oeuvres, an open bar, and access to 30 taps: 20 beer and cider, six cocktails, and four wines! Gibbs commented, “The speaker list is under development, but it promises to be a great night to celebrate business and quality of life in all of Northeast Kentucky.”
Tickets are on sale now: $75 for Ashland Alliance members or $95 for nonmembers. “Our guests will have their own entrance to the facility, more details for the evening's events will be forthcoming!
