On 9 October 2025, the East Midlands Chamber will host its annual President’s Celebration at Kelham Hall. The event promises to unite over 500 business leaders from the region for an evening of networking, celebration, and inspiration.
Taking place at The Renaissance at Kelham Hall, the evening will begin with welcome drinks and networking in the Library and Music Hall, allowing guests to mingle and unwind. The venue also features a Billiards Room for those seeking a bit of fun before the formal proceedings begin.
The evening will feature keynote speaker Dr Jo Salter MBE, the UK’s first female fighter jet pilot, who will share her insights on leadership and high-performance in fast-paced environments. Dr Salter’s stories from her air force career will offer valuable lessons for business leaders looking to make an impact in their organisations.
Following the speeches, the finalists for the East Midlands Chamber Business Awards 2025/26 will be announced across 12 categories. A high standard of entries is expected this year, with judges facing a difficult task in selecting the winners.
