CNMI SBDC announces 2026 CNMI Industry Day dates for Saipan, Tinian, and Rota

SAIPAN — The CNMI Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network announced the dates for the 2026 CNMI Industry Day, a three-island event scheduled for Jan. 27–29, 2026, in partnership with Northern Marianas College, Pacific Air Force (PACAF), and the Commonwealth Bureau of Military Affairs (CBMA).

According to the SBDC, the event will be held on Saipan (Jan. 27), Tinian (Jan. 28), and Rota (Jan. 29), with venue locations to be announced.

SBDC said the event is returning for a second consecutive year following strong turnout in 2025, and described Industry Day as a bridge between federal contracting opportunities and local small businesses; giving attendees a chance to learn about upcoming projects, connect with Department of War partners and other agencies, and better position their businesses to compete for government contracts.

“Industry Day isn’t just an event – it’s momentum,” said CNMI SBDC Network Director Nadine Deleon Guerrero Kintol, who said last year’s turnout showed strong demand for opportunity, information and connection.

SBDC said additional details including venues, agenda highlights, and registration information will be released in the coming weeks.
