We will bring thousands of qualified attendees (i.e. opinion leaders, influencers, reporters, evangelists and general users in your target market) directly to your booth. Each one of them may possibly become a loyal advocate for your product after talking to you or your staff.

Startup Central is free to attend, but we require you to at least work in the consumer web, software or hardware industry to talk to our mentors. Students are welcome too!

Technology has become an essential part of everyone’s life. Technology web startups play a major role in shaping the the entire tech industry. We want to extend an invite to folks working in the startup industry. NY Business Expo 2012 will be the first NY-based trade show to include a startup Demo Day, co-hosted by StartEngine. We bring something totally refreshing to the startup ecosystem on the east coast. You will be meeting amazing people here!

NY Business Expo is a highly inclusive trade show that includes startups from every corner of the world. StartEngine Demo Day is a special component that involves StartEngine, the largest startup accelerator in LA, flying their startups out to New York to showcase their disruptive technologies to the New York investors.

StartEngine Demo Day

While the show proves to be a highly valuable platform for the StartEngine startups, the fact that the Demo Day will be included as a part of NY Business Expo can provide great value to New York startup ecosystem as a whole. This partnership will be highly beneficial to expo attendees and exhibitors because it means there will be a whole lot more quality people and companies you can meet at the expo.

Open bar. Cool people. Unlimited networking. It just can’t get any better! If you missed any Small Business Classroom or Startup Central sessions during the day, this would be your opportunity to catch up with our mentors, speakers and exhibitors.

After Hour Networking

Besides, you will be able to meet hundreds of small business owners and startup entrepreneurs here. The after parties are sponsored by Wichcraft. Cocktails will be served and hor d’oeuvres will be passed around. It will be hosted at Alley NYC.
