The Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce (ARCC) hosted their annual Business Expo on November 8th at The Queensbury Hotel in Glens Falls. This business showcase featured over 85 exhibitors, ranging from all types of industries and business sizes. From nonprofits and human service organizations to health and wellness and professional services, the event was buzzing with activity.
“It is always amazing to watch all of the business connections happening in real time,” said ARCC President & CEO Tricia Rogers. “Our business community is so amazing in that they support each other in every way possible.”
This year’s business showcase had something for everyone. Many businesses featured demos of their products, such as Mahoney Alarms, who had a great setup of their camera and security systems. Adirondack Winery, Lake George Wine Outlet, and Springbrook Hollow Distillery were all giving out samples of their beverages. And Park Street Hospitality delighted guests with some yummy Autumn themed treats. For the golf enthusiasts, PSG Golf set up a putting green, and The Luxury Box had a golf simulator. And for those who like their toys to drive, float, or ride the Expo had a vehicle from Romeo Toyota of Glens Falls, and a boat & snowmobile from Pilot Knob Marina & Powersports.
Many of the exhibitors also made their way around the rooms to chat and network with other businesses.
“A few exhibitors mentioned that they had met businesses they had never heard of and were looking forward to continuing conversations after the event. At the end of the day, this showcase is about community. It’s about getting to know your neighbors and making new friends & connections,” said ARCC Marketing Director Amanda Blanton.
