March 7–8: NY Women’s Expo
Albany Marriott
The Capital District’s signature girls’ day out returns this March as the NY Women’s Expo marks its 15th anniversary with a blowout weekend at the Albany Marriott. Across March 7–8, more than 150 exhibitors, including many from the health and wellness space, will take over the hotel’s ballroom corridors with the kind of energy that blurs the line between shopping event and annual reunion—where discovery is part of the fun and indulgence is encouraged. Expect free samples, exclusive giveaways, and demonstrations. Save the date; this milestone event promises to be the organizers’ most vibrant yet. nywomensexpo.com
