Cincy Stammtisch

Join us for our monthly STAMMTISCH!

We will be back in Newport at the HOFBRAUHAUS


Thursday

September 5, 2024


Once a month we open the doors to members, nonmembers, prospects and any interested parties, to get together, chat, enjoy a drink, some companionship and laughs... getting to know one another as potential friends and potential business partners.


And every summer we take Stammtisch on the road and explore new venues and hope to connect with those in other areas of Greater Cincinnati.


Open to members, nonmembers and prospects. No cost to register. Cash bar.

EACC UPCOMING EVENTS

Operations Showcase - Festo/GCFTZ (9/18)

Join us for our 2nd Operations Showcase at FESTO on September 18 from 4:30 - 6:30 pm.


FESTO needs no introduction: not only have we all seen their building on I-71 North, but their story has been told often - successfully moving their operations from New York to Cincinnati to expand and modernize, with all the steps, challenges and potential pitfalls that involves along the way.


But did you know that FESTO is also home to one of our region's Foreign Trade Zones?


FESTO has A LOT to tell. Don't miss this opportunity to go behind the scenes.
