The Olathe Chamber of Commerce is a nonprofit organization based in Olathe, Kansas, focused on advancing the community's economic vitality and quality of life. Founded in 1921, it functions as a regional business association that brings together business leaders, professionals, and decision-makers to address local economic and civic issues, supported by the largest weekly networking event in metropolitan Kansas City. It is the largest chamber in Johnson County and the second largest in the broader Kansas City area, with more than 1,700 members, and it operates both an Economic Development Department and a Convention and Visitors Bureau to support business growth and tourism. The Economic Development Department helped lead to the construction of 1 million square feet of new commercial, office, and industrial space in 2000, creating thousands of new jobs, while a Progressive Convention and Visitors Bureau supports tourism with an annual impact of about $22 million. In 2024, the chamber was noted in news coverage for being recognized in the Community Impact category, reflecting its engagement with local initiatives such as downtown library projects.
