We Were In NYC Representing FMB!

The New York Travel & Adventure Show is a premier event that brings together travel enthusiasts and industry professionals. It offered a significant opportunity to engage with a diverse and affluent audience to promote Fort Myers Beach and the impact of the Chamber of Commerce. Attendees included travel agents, travelers, and active consumers with the means to travel both domestically and internationally. We were able to showcase the FMB Chamber of Commerce’s services and destination to thousands of potential travelers. The event features over 550 exhibitors representing more than 170 countries, attracting an estimated 35,000 visitors over its two-day duration. Attending the event were FMB Chamber Event Director Dayla Rumpf and Ambassador James May. Thanks to the Lee VCB for inviting us along!

We Sponsored Movie On The Mound!

Movie on the Mound is a unique outdoor movie experience hosted by the Mound House Museum! This family-friendly event welcomes everyone to enjoy a night under the stars. Sponsored by the FMB Chamber of Commerce, the latest screening took place on February 7th, featuring Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Popcorn and soda were available for purchase, with proceeds supporting the Mound House Museum. To match the adventurous theme, kids participated in a thrilling scavenger hunt through the museum (with a stop at the Chamber table), ending with a fun prize reveal by punching through tissue paper-covered cups. It was a fantastic evening that brought the community together for a memorable night!
