The BSBG NYTech & Innovations Summit 2026 brought together over 200 bodega owners, small business leaders, tech entrepreneurs, CEOs, elected officials, NYPD representatives, community partners, and sponsors under one roof at the iconic Stuyvesant Yacht Club in the Bronx.
It was an evening where everyone was welcomed, enjoyed a great experience, built meaningful connections, and left with real value — representing different industries, backgrounds, cultures, and communities, all united with one common goal: to uplift and strengthen our small businesses.
