The application for 2010 Trade Show Assistance Program is now closed. Applications for 2011 will be available in the first quarter of 2011.
Funds for the program are made available through the generosity of the Dutchess County Industrial Development Agency (DCIDA). The program reimburses qualified manufacturing companies for up to 50% of the direct costs associated with participating in an industry trade show of their choice. The maximum grant award is $4,000 per company or affiliate every two years for a domestic trade show and $5,000 for an international trade show. Eligible costs include booth and freight costs, airfare, lodging, meals, and marketing related to business development at the show.
