AMp Up Morning Networking: An inside look at three thriving QC businesses
In the spirit of Keep It QC, a new movement about the power of doing business locally to advance the Quad Cities' regional economy, the Chamber is proud to present a program that celebrates the success stories of three thriving businesses in our community.

Key Takeaways: 

• 3M: The Fortune 500 company's manufacturing plant in Cordova that produces the adhesives for its Scotch Tape and Post-it Note products is turning 50 this year.
• Twin State Technical Services: Chamber Business of the Year is helping hundreds of local organizations remain connected, productive and competitive in and out of the office.
• Oh So Sweet by Tiphanie: The baking company that prides itself on making everything from scratch out of its downtown Davenport kitchen is cooking up cool collaborations with fellow QC businesses and gaining regional fame in the process.  

Join us as we hear from representatives from each of these thriving companies. Speakers will provide an inside look at their operations, including best practices and lessons learned.
