Launchpad | Business Expo 2026

Description

The Batesville Area Chamber of Commerce is counting down to liftoff for its 2026 Business Expo: LAUNCHPAD. Presented by Citizens Bank, this stellar event will touch down on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Batesville Community Center. 

LAUNCHPAD spotlights innovation, momentum, and the next frontier for local business. Chamber members will unveil fresh ideas, products, and services in a dynamic, immersive atmosphere. Admission is free, and everyone is welcome. 

Vendors are encouraged to blast past ordinary displays by incorporating interactive features, live demonstrations, and imaginative storytelling that truly capture their brand. One standout exhibitor will earn the coveted Out of this World Award for the most engaging and innovative booth. 

The day begins with a Pre-Launch Briefing, an exclusive business-to-business networking hour from 9 to 11 a.m., where vendors can connect before the public doors open at 11 a.m. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., attendees can recharge at the Fuel Station, sampling delicious local bites from Chamber members. Meanwhile, the Junior Space Cadets Zone will keep young explorers engaged all day with activities designed for families and budding innovators. 

Citizens Bank presents the Expo with additional support from Bad Boy Mowers, the City of Batesville, Merchants & Planters Bank, Onin Staffing, Peco Foods, RAWK Imprinting, The UPS Store, and White River Health.
