Last Wednesday, the OJBA community came together at the Meadowlands Exposition Center for OJBA NY 2025… and with siyata dishmaya it delivered exactly what exhibitors look for: conversations that led to real follow-ups.

From the moment the doors opened, the show floor stayed full and active. People didn’t rush through — they stopped, talked, listened, and spent time at booths. Conversations carried on in the aisles, over food, and in seating areas… giving exhibitors the space to explain what they do and have thoughtful discussions.

The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Many shared how valuable the interactions were — not just meeting new contacts, but reconnecting with familiar faces and turning those conversations into follow-ups, leads, and meaningful business opportunities.

Attendees described the day as having “great energy,” with one exhibitor calling it an “incredible show” and a reminder of why in-person conversations still matter.

Attendance was strong, and the mix of exhibitors reflected how the OJBA community continues to grow.

This year’s expo brought together the full spectrum of the construction industry… from core suppliers in lumber, flooring, lighting, and equipment to the many services that support the work behind the scenes.

That included business and operational services such as property management, staffing, payroll, accounting, insurance, credit card processing, software, and website design — alongside construction and trade-related services like scaffolding, elevators, interior design, demolition and cleanouts, architecture, site safety and compliance, masonry, framing, and roofing.

Booths were professional, inviting, and consistently busy throughout the day… creating an environment for the conversations that make OJBA special.
