The lights are flickering, the synths are warming up, and the “Upside Down” is turning right-side-up for local business. Join us for the United Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce Awards Gala: Chamber Things on Thursday, January 29, 2026, at the Omni Hotel in Corpus Christi.

This is our biggest celebration of the year. We honor the leaders, small businesses, innovators, and community champions who make the Coastal Bend thrive. We’re rolling out an immersive, 80s-inspired evening with original comedy skits, cinematic moments, and a few fun surprises that tip their hat to the shows you love while keeping it all Chamber-friendly.
