SAIPAN — The CNMI Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network at Northern Marianas College is now accepting exhibitor registrations for CNMI Industry Day 2026, a three-day tri-island event aimed at connecting local businesses with federal agencies, military partners, and major contractors operating in the region.
This month’s CNMI-wide events will be held on:
- Saipan: Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2026, at Hibiscus Hall, Crowne Plaza Resort Saipan (Garapan)
- Tinian: Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2026, at Bar-K-Diner (San Jose)
- Rota: Thursday, Jan. 29, at Puesto Grill Annex (Songsong)
There is no fee to participate as an exhibitor, but businesses must register as an SBDC client, a free process that allows companies to access ongoing advising, training, and technical assistance beyond the event.
All exhibitors will receive designated space to showcase products and services and connect directly with event participants. Businesses choosing to exhibit on an island outside their home base will be responsible for their own travel costs, including airfare and lodging.
SBDC said businesses typically need to pursue federal contracts, including a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and active SAM.gov registration, a CAGE code, and a capability statement, but businesses are still welcome to exhibit even if they are still working through those steps.
Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) and NAVFAC Marianas contracting representatives will be present at all three events, major contractors have been invited, and organizers expect approximately 200 participants across Saipan, Tinian, and Rota.
