The 2026 Premier Business Awards & Annual Luncheon

June 25, 2026 | 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM | Colonial Heritage Club

A New Era of Excellence. Success in Greater Williamsburg is a shared journey, and this June, we invite you to see that journey celebrated on the main stage. The GWCC is proud to introduce The 2026 Premier Business Awards & Annual Luncheon—a high-prestige, seated event at the Colonial Heritage Club. Moving away from the traditional mixer format, this streamlined program honors our community's greatest milestones and the visionary leaders driving our economy forward.

Join the Celebration

Experience a distinguished afternoon at Colonial Heritage as we gather to honor the collective achievements of our business community.
