What a day yesterday was at the 2026 PenBay Showcase & Job Fair…

Packed rooms, incredible energy, meaningful conversations, and real connections being made all across the Samoset.

To our exhibitors…THANK YOU. You showed up, represented your businesses and organizations, and made this event what it was. Many of you were hiring, networking, and building relationships that will carry forward well beyond yesterday.

A special thank you to our PenBay Collaboration Council and founders…Chris Austin, Erick Anderson, and Brandy Perkins…for the vision and leadership behind this event.

And to our volunteers…Jerod Cronkite, Sandy Cox, and Jennifer Chipman…you were the engine behind the scenes. We couldn’t have done this without you.

Huge appreciation to our media sponsor, Binnie Media, for helping us spread the word and bringing the energy with a live broadcast right from the Showcase.

Thank you to the Samoset Resort for hosting us in such a beautiful space, and to Wallace Events for the top-notch booth setup that made everything look first class.

This is what community looks like when it comes together.

See you next year…bigger and better. 💪
