The original Small Business Resource Fair concept was developed by a consortium of agencies, local chambers, civic leaders and businesses headed by the Internal Revenue Service Tax Education and Compliance Division and the Greater NY Chamber of Commerce. The first Expo was held in October 2002 at Madison Square Garden. Today it has grown into a semi-annual event.

Greater NY Chamber Expos have been recognized by the US Congress, the IRS, the States of New York and New Jersey, the City of New York and many local business & civic leaders as an important source of information and contacts. At this expo, the US Small Business Administration will recognize the Chamber for its exemplary work in helping entrepreneurs, business and civic leaders to forge important relationships and improve their bottom lines.

This Expo kicks off with a welcome luncheon in the Madison Square Garden Theatre previously headlined by the likes of Greg Meeks, Robert Jackson, Charles Gargano, Virginia Fields, Nydia Velazquez, Bill Thompson and David Weprin. They expect over 300 people to be in attendance for the official ribbon cutting which will open the Expo to the general public at 1:00 PM. The Expo then closes with a sensational networking session in the Club Room with hundreds of Chamber members & GiveAways from popular NY Restaurants
