Thank you for registering your team for the inaugural Chamber Games 2026, proudly hosted by the Whitsundays Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The Chamber Games is a fun, social networking event designed to bring together local businesses, sporting clubs and the wider community for an afternoon of teamwork, friendly competition and connection.
Held immediately following the 2026 Whitsunday Business Conference, The Chamber Games is open to all local businesses and community members — conference attendance is not required to participate. Whether you are joining us after a full day at the Conference or coming along specifically for the Games, everyone is welcome.
This is not about sporting ability — it’s about participation, team spirit and having a great time. Teams will compete in a series of light-hearted challenges designed to encourage collaboration, laughter and a little friendly rivalry.
Team Competition
Teams of four will rotate through a range of challenges, competing for:
- Gold Medal Team & Chamber Games Perpetual Trophy
- Silver Medal Team
- Bronze Medal Team
- Best Dressed Team Award
No specialist sporting experience is required. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or simply keen to have some fun with your colleagues, everyone is welcome.
Bring your team spirit, your competitive edge and your best game face as we celebrate where business meets sport in the Whitsundays.
Team Registration Fee
The entry fee is $20 per team (four participants).
