The Cambria County War Memorial Arena is home to the Opening Reception, the premier event of the Showcase for Commerce. Over 150 companies send knowledgeable representatives to display state-of-the-science products and services in both indoor and outdoor exhibits. Local vendors stand side-by-side with multi-national corporations to demonstrate why doing business in and around Johnstown makes sound economic sense. Quality work delivered on time and at reasonable cost is the common theme.

Congressman Mark Critz from Pennsylvania’s 12th District takes a hands-on approach and personally visits each exhibitor to learn how their capabilities can help to build a stronger nation, a stronger commonwealth and a stronger community.
