Richmond Chamber Strictly Networking Dim Sum

Richmond Chamber’s Strictly Networking Dim Sum is a structured morning for business introductions, not a free-floating brunch. It runs Wednesday, September 16, 2026, with registration at 10:00 AM and networking from about 10:15 AM to 12:30 PM at Fortune Terrace Chinese Cuisine, #130 - 6200 River Road. The chamber seats guests in small roundtables, gives each person a 90-second elevator pitch, then rotates tables before casual conversation over a dim sum-style menu. Members and non-members are welcome. Listed pricing is about $38 plus GST for members and $63 plus GST for general admission.

The Richmond Chamber is a durable metro business host on the south-of-the-Fraser Asian commercial map. River Road sits near Bridgeport and the Canada Line, closer to the Chinese and pan-Asian operator corridor than a Downtown Vancouver tower mixer. Fortune Terrace is a Chinese-style restaurant chosen on purpose for the format. Bring at least 50 cards if you can; the chamber’s own copy recommends that many and says you will connect with nearly everyone in the room. The pitch-and-rotate design is what separates this morning from a vague “networking night.”

This is right for Richmond and south-of-Fraser owners, sales operators, professional-services people, and anyone who wants a named chamber table after Vancouver’s early-September GVBOT and Microsoft rooms. Skip it if you need investor pitch density, a tech product demo floor, or a members-only Lions game mixer later in September. Dietary restrictions are not accommodated on the listed menu, so confirm before you buy if that matters. GrowthZone registration pages sometimes show as temporarily unavailable even when the event is live; refresh, try another browser, or email the chamber if checkout fails.

Leave Canada Line or driving buffer for mid-morning Richmond traffic. Screenshot confirmation. If you are choosing between this dim sum morning and a Surrey Board of Trade workshop the same day, use geography and goal: Richmond is the structured chamber introduction room on the Chinese restaurant corridor.
