LIVE from the 2026 HIA-LI Trade Show: Terri Alessi-Miceli, HIA-LI
If you think this trade show is just “get a booth and hope for the best,” this conversation will change the way you look at it.
By 10:30 AM, there were already 1,700 attendees clocked in, and the show floor was a full sellout. But the best part was Terri’s reminder that the real win is what happens after the handshake: one conversation, the right follow-up, and it can turn into a relationship that changes a business.
We also talked about what’s new on the floor this year, the “Next Business Breakthrough” theme, and what HIA-LI is focused on next, including deeper collaboration across Long Island business organizations and a new micro category at the Business Achievement Awards for companies under 10 employees.
