COLUMBUS — The Columbus Chamber's annual meeting is set for Feb. 8 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center.

More than 1,400 business leaders are expected to attend the meeting, which has the theme "Transform" and is to feature some of the region's innovators and entrepreneurs.

Tom Feeney, president and CEO of Safelite AutoGlass, is to deliver the keynote remarks. In 2017, Feeney spearheaded technology investments of more than $41 million through the company's Innovation Hub — investments meant to go beyond auto glass.

Also, the chamber will honor the finalists and announce the winner of the 2018 Small Business Leader Award. The finalists are Jeff Burt of EclipseCorp; Charles R. Morrison III, MCR Medical Supply; Cheryl Stauffer, Crimson Design Group; and Greg Ubert, Crimson Cup Coffee & Tea.

The meeting is open to the public. Tickets are $125.
