The PA Chamber Annual Dinner is our largest and most anticipated event of the year, bringing together leaders from business, government, and the civic community across the Commonwealth. And this year’s event is nearly sold out!

As we celebrate America250, we’re excited to combine star power with state pride, highlighting Pennsylvania’s outsized role in shaping the nation. And to do it, we’re welcoming a native son home to headline the Commonwealth’s biggest night.

Global superstar, comedian, and entrepreneur Kevin Hart will be our keynote speaker at the 42nd PA Chamber Annual Dinner on Monday, October 5, 2026, at the Hershey Lodge!

A Philadelphia native, Hart is one of the hardest-working entertainers and business leaders of his generation. A globally recognized producer, actor, and box office powerhouse, his films have generated more than $4 billion in worldwide revenue, earning him both Emmy and Grammy nominations.

Beyond entertainment, Hart is a successful entrepreneur and brand builder. He is a founding partner in Gran Coramino Tequila and VitaHustle nutritional wellness, and maintains partnerships with brands including Netflix, NBCUniversal, JPMorgan Chase, Verizon, DraftKings, SharkNinja, and C4 Energy. Through his strategic partnership with Authentic, Hart co-owns and manages the Kevin Hart brand and holds an ownership stake in the company.

Hart’s story – rooted in Pennsylvania and elevated on a global stage – is a fitting highlight as we commemorate America250 and bring together the Commonwealth’s leading voices under one roof.

Sponsorship opportunities are available for this premier event. To learn more about these high-visibility packages and the opportunities it affords you to engage with an unmatched audience, please contact Christina Kelly at ckelly@pachamber.org.
