The Ocean State Business Expo & Networking Event at the Crowne Plaza Providence-Warwick. Billed by its organizers as Rhode Island's largest business networking event and held since 2009, it is a one-day expo where Rhode Island businesses exhibit and network. It is privately organized rather than run by a chamber, and exhibiting is open to businesses through the organizers' exhibitor and sponsor registration; no booth count is published. General admission is ticketed.
