It has become apparent that the standard Chamber model will soon become a thing of the past. Technology is controlling the way business gets done. People no longer need to contact the Chamber for advice on who to do business with because they can get much more information, much easier, using apps like Angi or Yelp. A Chamber is no longer needed to facilitate networking events because people can meet with thousands of people virtually (through social networking sites like LinkedIn) or even meet face to face using MeetUp. Because of the ever changing needs of small businesses Chambers can do one of two things: 1) hope things go back to how they use to be or 2) adapt and embrace technology.

As Baby Boomers and Generation X retire, Chambers will NEED Millenials to become members in order to survive. Millenials expect instant gratification and that expectation will only increase with time.
