Fergus Falls State of the Business Community 2026

The Fergus Falls Chamber invites you to join us on Friday, May 8th for a high-level briefing on the economic forces shaping Fergus Falls and Minnesota. This year’s event features the Minnesota Chamber’s 2026 Business Benchmarks, providing a data-backed look at our state’s competitiveness, labor trends, and growth hurdles.

Local leaders from the City, County, and Economic Development will translate these statewide insights into a "Vision for Fergus Falls," outlining the specific strategies being deployed to ensure our community remains a premier destination for investment and talent. We will honor local corporate citizenship with the Fergus Falls Business Gives recognition and share a bit history of the Chamber's 140 years of serving the business community.

Open to the Public. Tickets $25/each ($50 general public) Enjoy a continental breakfast by Double A Catering.

One attendee is included with registration at no charge for Fergus Falls Business Gives participants (Fergus Falls Chamber member businesses).  Click here to complete your Business Gives form online.
