Welcome to the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce’s ReNew Jersey Business Summit & Expo and thank you for your continued support.
Over the next day and a half, we will focus on the key issues impacting employers and shaping our economy in 2026, while exploring New Jersey’s competitiveness in the years ahead.
This year, “renewal” carries even greater significance.
New Jersey is entering a new chapter under new leadership. We are honored to welcome Governor Mikie Sherrill on Tuesday, where she will share her vision for the state’s economic future. On Wednesday, Lieutenant Governor Dale Caldwell will join us, continuing what we expect to be a meaningful and productive dialogue between government and the business community.
We are also pleased to feature distinguished speakers, including United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby and John Gallucci Jr., CEO of JAG Physical Therapy.
A special thank you also goes to Richard Butkus, president and managing partner of Control Point Associates, for serving as our co-host sponsor. Please don’t miss the networking party on March 31 hosted by Rich and Control Point Associates from 9-11 p.m. at The Pool at Harrah’s Atlantic City.
This year’s Summit brings together an outstanding lineup of speakers, panelists, and thought leaders from across industries. Our agenda is designed to spark ideas, foster collaboration, and provide practical insights on the issues shaping New Jersey’s economy – from workforce development and innovation to infrastructure and competitiveness.
Just as importantly, this Summit is about connection. The relationships built here among business leaders, policymakers and partners will help move our state forward long after the event concludes.
We are here to celebrate New Jersey – its resilience, its diversity, and its tremendous potential. And we are here to ask an essential question: How do we make it even better?
Thank you for being part of that conversation.
On behalf of the New Jersey Chamber, I extend my sincere appreciation to all our attendees, exhibitors, speakers and sponsors.
Enjoy the ReNew Jersey Business Summit & Expo – and most of all, thank you for your commitment to strengthening New Jersey’s economic opportunity.
Tom Bracken is the CEO of the N.J. State Chamber of Commerce.
