Level Up Your Leadership at Elevate Cody—January 15th

Success in Cody doesn’t just happen—it’s built by professionals who are willing to invest in their growth. Elevate Cody is designed for exactly that: one powerful day to sharpen your skills, connect with peers, and walk away ready to lead with confidence.

The Cody Country Chamber of Commerce talks to business owners and managers from every industry in Park County, and workforce development is a major issue across the board. From finding dependable entry-level staff to developing managers for increased responsibilities, having the right people and skills in a team can make or break a business.

In a small community like ours, professional development opportunities are rare. Many people travel to Billings, Casper, or Denver to access conferences like this—spending hundreds or possibly even thousands on travel, hotels, and tickets.

That’s why the Chamber has organized an exciting and high-level leadership and workforce development conference that is going to give every business the opportunity to get professional training right here in Cody, during the quiet season.

Whether you’re a business owner, manager, or any employee looking to grow, this event brings together top regional voices and local experts with strategies you can use immediately. We have worked hard to organize a lineup that will offer useful training for everyone.

Elevate Cody makes professional growth affordable, accessible, and local.

• Affordable Pricing: $150 (Chamber members) / $210 (non-members)
• Includes lunch + networking opportunities
• All-day conference on Thursday, January 15th. Ticket sales end on Friday, January 9th!

What You’re Getting for the Money

Professional events can feel expensive. But here’s the truth:

• One day, one investment can shift the way you lead, market, and grow for years to come.
• The member rate is just $150. This is good for any employee of any member of a Wyoming Chamber of Commerce, not just the Cody Chamber.
• Corporate Discount: If you sign 5 or more employees, the rate drops to just $100 per person.
• If you typically send staff to larger conferences, you’re saving on travel by keeping it local.
• Lunch, training, and networking are all included.

Ask yourself: what would just one new idea, contact, or strategy be worth to you and your business in 2026?
An industry-backed analysis found that 51% of employees say training increases their confidence, and 41% report it improves their time-management skills—both key drivers of productivity.

Not only that, but the same study found that professional training boosts morale for 68% of workers (Acuity International). Who doesn’t need a little morale boost in Cody in January?
