Each spring, in coordination with International Women’s Day, the Montana Chamber convenes the Montana Women in Business Summit and International Women’s Day Luncheon. It is our hope to nurture a statewide ecosystem that will support women’s leadership development and specific needs in the workplace in collaboration with partner organizations currently providing financial and educational resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities. By empowering women in business and women entrepreneurs, the Montana Chamber can play a pivotal role in creating a more diverse, innovative, and prosperous business environment for all.
In 2026, the Women in Business Summit is scheduled for March 4-6 in Bozeman.
Started as the Centennial Golf Classic during the 100th Celebration of Montana’s statehood in 1989, the Montana Chamber Foundation annually hosts upwards of 420 golfers for a two-day, 36-hole scramble, creating a fun and competitive atmosphere that fosters business development and networking opportunities for nationally and locally recognized businesses competing for bragging rights and looking to grow their professional networks. More than 650 business leaders, government officials, and policymakers turn out for the Glacier Bank Ace in the Hole Networking Reception & BBQ the night prior to kick off the tournament.

The 2026 tournament will take place on Friday, July 31.
