The Conway Area Chamber of Commerce offers a variety of events that provide valuable networking opportunities and avenues for business exposure. These events serve four primary functions for our members and the community: promote, honor, connect, and grow.

The Chamber also organizes the award-winning Toad Suck Daze festival, the largest, free-admission family festival in Arkansas. Proceeds from food, attractions, and T-shirt and merchandise sales support the festival’s primary goal – raising money to promote education initiatives in Faulkner County. To date, the festival has awarded more than $1.8 million in the form of direct scholarships, endowments, and a pre-K initiative.
