National Small Business Expo "New York Edition"NYC's Premier Business ExpoSet for June 11th, 2026

QUEENS, N.Y. — As small businesses navigate a 2026 economy defined by blistering technological shifts and fluctuating costs, the National Small Business Expo “New York Edition” is shifting its focus from traditional networking to a "Growth & Survival" blueprint. Taking place on Thursday, June 11, 2026, from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Rochdale Village Ballroom, this year’s expo moves beyond the standard exchange of business cards to offer a high-velocity ecosystem for real-world recovery and scaling.

The conference has added the 100 Black Men of Eastern New York, Inc. as a Host & Strategic Partner, other partners include:

• The Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce, Inc. (LIAACC)
• The African American Small Business Foundation, Inc.
• The New York City Minority Small Business Chamber of Commerce, Inc.

The 2026 New York Edition is designed as a direct response to the specific hurdles facing tri-state entrepreneurs. The event serves as a central hub for connecting diverse businesses with the "invisible assets" needed to thrive: direct access to capital, government contract certifications, and matched networking with decision-makers.

• Beyond the Booth: Moving away from passive exhibiting, the Expo introduces "Business Solution Sessions" focusing on high-velocity referral networks and using AI as a tool for productivity rather than a novelty.
• Scaling Through Collaboration: The partnership emphasizes helping small firms team up to win contracts that are too large to fulfill alone, leveraging the collective advocacy of the host organizations.
• Strategic Life Planning: Exclusive sessions will be held on business valuation, healthy choices, and strategic life insurance planning to ensure business owners are protected as they grow.

"The 2026 National Small Business Expo New York Edition isn't just an expo; it's a strategic intervention," said Phil Andrews. "By aligning the Chamber, the Foundation, the 100 Black Men, and the NYC Minority Chamber, we are providing a unified front. This is about building a community where premium pricing becomes normal because our businesses have built the authority to command it."

The Expo will showcase a wide array of exhibitors across finance, healthcare, technology, and professional services, etc. Sponsorship opportunities are available!
