Hudson Valley Businesses Invited to Showcase

The Bronx Chamber of Commerce has announced that registration is now open for sponsors and exhibitors for Bronx Day in Albany 2026, a major regional business and economic development event returning on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, at the Albany Capital Center. Hudson Valley businesses, nonprofits, cultural institutions, and organizations looking to expand their footprint into the Bronx are encouraged to participate and secure their involvement at BronxDayinAlbany.com.

After a multi-year hiatus, Bronx Day in Albany is returning as a high-impact regional convening focused on business growth, economic development, and cross-market expansion. The event brings Bronx-based enterprises together with New York State leaders and agencies, while intentionally welcoming companies from across the Hudson Valley seeking to build partnerships, pursue procurement opportunities, and expand into one of New York State’s largest and most dynamic consumer markets.

The event is expected to draw more than 600 attendees, including senior state agency representatives, statewide business and economic development organizations, government affairs professionals, media, and stakeholders from the Bronx, Hudson Valley, New York City and beyond.

“Bronx Day in Albany is where visibility meets opportunity,” said Lisa Sorin, President of the Bronx Chamber of Commerce. “For Hudson Valley businesses, this event offers a direct pathway to connect with Bronx markets, state decision-makers, and partners across sectors. We view this as a regional opportunity to strengthen economic ties and create new avenues for collaboration.”

Exhibitor participation has been structured to be intentionally accessible to organizations of all sizes. Restaurants providing food and beverage tastings may participate at no cost with a refundable deposit to reserve space, while artists and artisans with goods for sale may exhibit for $250. Businesses and nonprofit organizations may secure exhibitor space for $500, with premium, larger-scale exhibit options available for organizations seeking heightened visibility and engagement.

Sponsorship opportunities are available starting at $2,500 and provide enhanced visibility before, during, and after the event, along with access to exclusive opportunities, including a curated State Capitol visit for participating sponsors.

Bronx Day in Albany offers a turnkey platform for sponsors and exhibitors to showcase products, services, and missions, while connecting directly with New York State agency representatives and learning about opportunities to do business with the State. For Hudson Valley participants, the event also provides a unique opportunity to position their organizations in front of Bronx-based businesses, nonprofits, and institutions seeking new vendors, partners, and service providers.

The 2026 program includes a ticketed Leadership Luncheon highlighting issues impacting businesses and regional economies, State Agency Resource Workshops expected to cover access to capital, MWBE certifications and opportunities, procurement and contracting with New York State agencies, workforce development and training resources, and an evening Business Showcase & Tradeshow featuring businesses, nonprofits, cultural institutions, artists and artisans offering goods for sale, and culinary providers offering food and beverage tastings.

Organizers encourage participation from Hudson Valley businesses and organizations looking to expand into the Bronx market, companies currently serving Bronx communities, regional cultural institutions and creative entrepreneurs, restaurants and food and beverage businesses seeking new audiences, and organizations interested in strengthening cross-regional partnerships.

“The Bronx is a growing economic engine in New York State, and its growth creates opportunities far beyond borough lines,” Sorin added. “Bronx Day in Albany is about building bridges between regions, industries, and communities, and creating real pathways for shared growth.”

Applications for sponsorships and exhibitor space are now being accepted on a rolling basis. Space is limited, and early registration is encouraged. Additional announcements, including program details and featured participants, will be released in the months leading up to the event.
