Tom Argiro is the Executive Director of the North Phoenix Chamber of Commerce and the founder of HBG Consulting, a software development company with the goal to help businesses grow. Tom has merged his technological background with his desire to help businesses as he serve within the Chamber.

With the shift this year for Chambers to look for ways to engage with and promote their members amid the COVID pandemic has led to some creativity. Some have turned to Zoom happy hours, some have adopted podcasting, and Tom has designed a way for Chambers to hold virtual conferences and expos which simulate many of the same functions that you would expect at an in-person conference.

Tom explains many of the features that are found in his virtual expos & conference software to paint a picture of what a user could expect. In a time where we are all making adjustments into a “new normal”, this may be a great option for many organizations to still interact and to provide value in terms of networking, programming, and education for their membership.

Tom has also designed other software tools specifically for Chambers. All of these resources can be found on his website at HBGconsulting.com. If you would like to connect with Tom to learn more about this great resource or to continue this discussion off-line, you can find his contact information below.
