2026 Business Excellence Awards Gala

Join us for an unforgettable evening at the 2026 DCR Chamber Business Excellence Awards Gala, where we’ll celebrate the outstanding achievements of our members and businesses that exemplify the thriving and growing spirit of Dakota County. This year, we’re honoring those who make an impact and contribute to the continued success of our community.

The theme for this year’s gala is still TBD. This reimagined event is designed to bring back the vibrancy of past celebrations while showcasing the success stories of our award winners and bringing it back to our own Dakota County!
