AS OF 10/18: Online registration is now closed. Please contact Events Manager Alanna Thiede (alanna@madisonbiz.com) for current ticket availability.
It's a moment two years in the making: The Chamber's Annual Dinner returns to Monona Terrace on Wednesday, Oct. 20!
Our 68th Annual Dinner will tell the story of our steadfast dedication to solving challenges through coordinated action. And we will welcome a world-class speaker, award-winning psychologist, author and expert on creating extraordinary workplaces to share insights on what it takes to build them: Dr. Ron Friedman.
If you purchase a table, our team will reach out to you with pre-sale wine options. We are thrilled to offer this to limit wait times and add an extra level of convenience and hospitality for our guests.

PROOF OF VACCINATION AND HOW TO PRE-REGISTER
To ensure efficient entrance, we are offering pre-registration of your vaccination status. If you are pre-registered, you will be able to access our registration fast lane.
Options for pre-registration include:
- Attend an upcoming Chamber event. Staff will be on hand and able to verify vaccination proof at any event between now and Annual Dinner. This includes Advocacy in the A.M. and ribbon cuttings.
- Secure file share. Please upload an image of your vaccination proof using this Dropbox link. To read more about Dropbox’s security features, visit this help page. Please do not send vaccination records via email. Please complete this by noon on October 18.
If you plan to present proof of full vaccination upon entry, a physical copy of your CDC card or your MyChart QR code is preferred. Other accepted proof includes a screenshot or printout of your vaccination card, Wisconsin Immunization Registry record, MyChart record, or pharmacy record.
In lieu of pre-registration, please bring one of the above options to the event as proof of full vaccination and allow for adequate processing time.
PROOF OF NEGATIVE PCR TEST
Attendees may present proof of a negative PCR (polymerase chain reaction) COVID test result to gain entrance as long as the PCR test was taken no sooner than 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 17 (72 hours prior to event start time). As results can take 48-72 hours to receive, we recommend attendees get tested on Monday, October 18. Click here to find a Dane County testing site near you.
If the test result is not received in time for the event, rapid testing is available on the day of the event at the Monona Terrace. See details and cost below. Rapid test results will only be accepted if conducted day-of at the Monona Terrace by our approved vendor. We will not accept at-home rapid test results.
ON-SITE TESTING
On-site COVID tests will be available for $20 per test with a processing time of 15-20 minutes. Pivotal Health and their team of medical professionals will be administering the tests in a private room and will validate the results for attendee proof of entry.
