The Whitsundays Chamber of Commerce & Industry is inviting businesses from across the region to swap work for the playing field and be part of the inaugural Chamber Games.
Taking place from 3:pm–5pm on Thursday 27 August at Club Whitsunday, the Chamber Games is a brand-new community event celebrating teamwork, connection and a healthy dose of friendly competition.
Open to businesses, community groups and individuals, teams of four will rotate through a series of fun, inclusive challenges inspired by local sporting clubs. No specialist skills or sporting experience are required — just a willingness to have a go.
A selection of the challenges will be revealed over the coming weeks, with a few surprises saved for the day.
The event follows the 2026 Whitsunday Business Conference, but conference attendance is not required. Whether you’re joining us after the Conference or coming along just for the Games, everyone is welcome.
Teams will compete for the Gold Medal Team and the inaugural Chamber Games Perpetual Trophy, along with Silver and Bronze medals and the coveted Best Dressed Team Award.
Don’t have a team of four? No problem. If you’d like to take part but need teammates, contact the Chamber and we’ll do our best to match you with others looking to join a team.
At just $20 per team, the Chamber Games offers an affordable afternoon of networking, laughs and friendly rivalry.
So gather your crew, choose a team name, wear your colours, bring your cheer squad, and get ready to discover where business meets sport.
Registrations are now open, and we’d love to see businesses from across the Whitsundays represented when the inaugural Chamber Games gets underway on 27 August.
Let the games begin!
