2026 HobNob

Description

Buffalo's best business party is coming to the Cobblestone District. Unwind and connect with fellow community leaders at the 15th annual HobNob – an energizing and interactive evening that brings together seasoned executives from a wide range of industries, as well as rising professionals and those new to the region.

This year’s signature event offers a first look inside the newly transformed Golisano Institute for Business & Entrepreneurship, located inside the historic former Buffalo News building. Be among the first to experience one of the region’s most exciting redevelopment projects before it officially opens in the fall of 2026.

HobNob also offers a special opportunity to celebrate Buffalo Niagara Partnership CEO Dottie Gallagher, as she prepares to retire in June. This year's location carries extra meaning, as the BNP relocated its offices to the neighborhood under Dottie’s leadership. She also spent nearly 15 years with The Buffalo News and served as a member of its executive management team.
