M&T Bank Center to Host 17th Annual New York Women’s Expo in March 2027

The M&T Bank Center at Mohawk Harbor will welcome one of the Capital Region’s premier shopping, wellness and lifestyle events when the 17th Annual New York Women’s Expo, presented by SwagHouse Productions, comes to Schenectady on March 20-21, 2027.

After years of success at the Albany Marriott, the expo is relocating to the M&T Bank Center to accommodate continued growth and deliver an even better experience for attendees, exhibitors and sponsors. The new venue will allow the event to expand to nearly 200 exhibitors while offering increased parking, enhanced indoor and outdoor event space, and new opportunities for interactive experiences.

The two-day expo is designed to inspire, educate, entertain and empower women of all ages. Attendees can shop hundreds of products and services, sample food, beverages and beauty products, enjoy live demonstrations, cooking presentations, beauty makeovers, wellness experiences, giveaways, and exclusive show specials.

Exhibitors will showcase the latest in health and wellness, beauty, fashion, cosmetics, home décor, travel, handmade gifts, specialty foods, jewelry, fitness, financial services, home improvement, professional services and more, making it the largest event of its kind for women in the Capital Region.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to bring the New York Women’s Expo to the M&T Bank Center,” said Mariah Fortune, founder of SwagHouse Productions. “The expo has continued to grow year after year, and we reached a point where we needed a venue that could grow with us. The M&T Bank Center gives us the opportunity to create an even more engaging experience with expanded exhibitor space, beautiful indoor and outdoor areas, and exciting new interactive attractions that will make this a true destination event for attendees from across New York and the Northeast.”

 The partnership is expected to generate a significant economic impact for Schenectady County by attracting visitors who will stay in local hotels, dine at area restaurants, shop at local businesses and explore attractions throughout the event weekend.

 “We are excited to welcome the New York Women’s Expo to the M&T Bank Center in 2027,” said Gary Hughes, Chair of the Schenectady County Legislature. “Events like this bring new visitors to Schenectady County and give them a chance to experience firsthand the growth and transformation happening throughout our community. From Mohawk Harbor and our revitalized downtown to our local businesses, restaurants and attractions, visitors will see why Schenectady County continues to be a great place to live, work and visit.”

 “This is another outstanding event that showcases the versatility of the M&T Bank Center,” said David Ahl, chief operating officer of the Galesi Group. “The New York Women’s Expo is a tremendous fit for our facility and Mohawk Harbor. We’re excited to welcome thousands of visitors to Schenectady for a weekend of shopping, wellness and entertainment while introducing them to everything our venue and waterfront area have to offer.”
