(CNMI SBDC) — The CNMI Small Business Development Center Network is proud to announce the official dates for the 2026 CNMI Industry Day, returning this January in partnership with the Northern Marianas College, the Pacific Air Force, and the Commonwealth Bureau of Military Affairs.
This marks the second consecutive year that CNMI SBDC will host Industry Day — an encore made possible by the overwhelming success and strong turnout of last year’s event. The enthusiastic participation from local businesses, federal partners, and military representatives demonstrated just how vital Industry Day has become to the CNMI’s economic and procurement landscape.
This year’s event will take place on all three main islands:
• Saipan — Jan. 27, 2026
• Tinian — Jan. 28, 2026
• Rota — Jan. 29, 2026
Venue locations will be announced soon.
Industry Day has quickly grown into one of the Commonwealth’s most impactful business events, serving as a bridge between federal contracting opportunities and the local small business community. Attendees gain valuable insight into upcoming projects, connect directly with Department of Defense partners and other agencies, and learn how to position their businesses to compete effectively for government contracts.
“Industry Day isn’t just an event — it’s momentum,” said CNMI SBDCN Network Director Nadine Deleon Guerrero Kintol. “Last year’s turnout proved that our community is hungry for opportunity, information, and connection. Bringing Industry Day back for a second year allows us to continue building that momentum and support even more CNMI businesses in entering the government contracting arena with confidence.”
Additional details — including venue announcements, agenda highlights, and registration information — will be released in the coming weeks.
