About

Spend the day with the New York Power Authority and NYS Canal Corporation for our 2024 Supplier Diversity Expo as we work towards “Building Powerful Connections for a Brighter Tomorrow.”

At this annual event, our Organization will help minority and women-owned business enterprises (MWBEs), service-disabled veteran-owned (SDVOB), and small business enterprise (SBE) firms unveil their potential, build powerful connections, and drive the engine of progress–together, as NYPA and Canals light the way towards a brighter tomorrow for the State of New York.

Plan to attend this exciting event to:

  • Learn about the transformative projects being planned by NYPA and Canals, and key information on how to navigate our procurement process;

  • Meet key NYPA and Canals vendors offering contract opportunities;

  • Pitch your products or services to NYPA and Canals procurement decision-makers; and

  • Attend workshops to enhance your business acumen.
