Power your next business opportunity. 

You’re invited to attend the 2026 New York Power Authority and NYS Canal Corporation Supplier Diversity Expo, a high-impact, in-person event designed to connect New York businesses directly with opportunity. 

When: May 14, 2026 | 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM 
Where: Sleepy Hollow Hotel | 455 S Broadway, Tarrytown, NY 10591 

This year’s theme, “Energizing New York’s Economy,” reflects more than a message; it reflects how the Expo has evolved. 

We Listened 

Based on feedback from past attendees, the 2026 Expo places a stronger emphasis on: 

  • More content on major NYPA and Canals projects 
  • Dedicated time to network within industry cluster and NYPA suppliers 
  • Enhanced opportunity to connect with procurement decision-makers 

At the center of this experience are Business Meetups, pre-scheduled, 1:1 conversations with NYPA and Canal Corporation procurement decision-makers. These focused meetings are designed to help suppliers introduce their capabilities, ask targeted questions, and understand where opportunities exist. 

The Expo floor further supports connection through curated exhibitors, open networking, and programming aligned with NYPA’s Vision 2030 priorities, giving MWBEs, SDVOBs, and small businesses meaningful insight into upcoming projects and pathways to engagement. 

Your Next Contract Opportunity Starts Here

  • Meet directly with NYPA and Canals procurement leaders

The Expo reflects NYPA’s broader commitment to catalyzing innovation and strengthening local economies by unlocking the talent and leadership of MWBEs, SDVOBs, and small businesses. We look forward to welcoming you to a day focused on connection, access, and opportunity—and working together to energize New York’s economy

Sincerely,
