2026 Annual Luncheon and Member Expo

The Officers and Directors of The Council of Industry cordially invite you to attend our 2026 Annual Luncheon & Member Expo.

Join us on Friday, November 20, at The Grandview in Poughkeepsie for the Council of Industry's Annual Luncheon & Member / Associate Member Expo - an opportunity to connect with manufacturers, suppliers, and industry partners from across the Mid-Hudson Region.

The Member / Associate Member Expo will take place from 11:00 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., followed by lunch at 12:15 p.m. During the luncheon, we will recognize the Winter and Spring 2026 Certificate in Manufacturing Leadership recipients, celebrating individuals who have invested in developing the skills needed to lead the future of manufacturing.

The Expo provides Member and Associate Member companies with a valuable opportunity to showcase their products, services, and capabilities while building relationships within the Council community. There is no additional fee to exhibit; participating companies are simply asked to purchase two luncheon seats.
