The 2025 World Canals Conference, taking place in September 2025, provides an extraordinary opportunity to put Buffalo and Western New York front and center on an international stage. Thousands of New Yorkers will join at least 500 delegates from around the globe for conference events, tours, and programs. It’s a once-in-a-century opportunity for sponsors and exhibitors to visibly demonstrate your support of the unique history and sound investments available in Buffalo and Western New York.
Sponsor opportunities include the conference website and promotion via e-newsletters and social media, pre- and post-conference tours, a major community event open to the public, two plenary sessions, three receptions and dinners, multiple breakout sessions and field tours.
Join us with your support to help showcase New York’s incredible canal heritage, promote Western New York as an international destination, and foster vibrant canal communities connected by our vital waterways.
We invite you to exhibit your organization or business at the World Canals Conference 2025. The exhibition space at the Hyatt Regency Buffalo is in a prime location surrounded by the conference rooms and coffee break stations. In addition to dedicated exhibition times, delegates will have opportunities to stop by booths for casual conversation and networking. Exhibitor registration will open by September 2024.
