Guests can also meet the Chamber’s AEC (Architects, Engineers and Construction) Network, the team behind the Billion Dollar Tour series.
“We will have executives from several different companies showcasing projects created in Noblesville, said Chamber president and CEO Bob DuBois.
He is thrilled about this year’s event, open to the community from 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Noblesville Indianapolis Conference Center.
Fun fact: The Noblesville Taste of Business was the inaugural opening-night event for the Embassy Suites in 2018. The Taste has been at the hotel ever since. “We have sold out the exhibit space each of the last seven years since we have partnered with the Embassy Suites to host Taste of Business – Made in Noblesville,” DuBois said.
He’s proud that the event is a sell-out, usually far in advance of the event.
“We have 100 businesses and organizations showcasing themselves this year,” he said.
And there is always lots of food, hence the name “Taste of Business.”
This year, there are at least 17 tasting booths, including Bier Brewery & Tap Room (opening this spring in Noblesville), Nameless Catering, Perkins Restaurant, Janus’ Capabilities Cafe, Chuy’s Tex-Mex Restaurant, Chik-fil-A, BeeFree, NOM Catering, Primeval Brewing, The Nesst of Noblesville, Purgatory Golf Club, Good Time Beverages, RPM Pizza/Domino’s Pizza, Tropical Smoothie Cafe, Outlaws Restaurant, Embassy Suites and Hotbox Pizza.
Being that it’s PI Day on March 14 around the world, there might be booths that serve pie, DuBois anticipated.
“We have several business exhibitors that also will provide samples, tastes, healthy snacks and sweets,” he said.
What does DuBois enjoy most about the Taste?
“We love helping businesses prepare for the Taste, thinking through how they will present their business to our guests,” he said.
Also, DuBois said, “We love to hear residents’ favorite Taste stories from previous years when they call or stop into our offices to purchase tickets.”
New businesses and perks, interesting food samples and more help keep the Taste fresh to entice the community.
In celebration of the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse, the Chamber has partnered with Hamilton County Tourism to offer the first 500 guests free eclipse-viewing glasses and eclipse-viewing tip cards.
“We enjoy the chance to feature several new Noblesville businesses each year. The Taste is the perfect event to introduce a new business to the community,” DuBois said.
Twenty-five new businesses, organizations and individuals join this year’s Taste of Business event in Noblesville.
“We love watching business owners and managers get so excited about sharing their business story,” he said.
“We also like the unique way our guests are greeted and welcomed at the event. The (Embassy Suites) ballroom lobby is transformed into Artisan’s Alley with local artists and musicians showcasing their creations. We lean on our friends from Noblesville Creates (formerly Nickel Plate Arts) to curate adn coordinate our featured artists.”
