Save the Date: October 29, 2026
Mark your calendars! The New England Council’s 2026 Annual Celebration will take place on the evening of Thursday, October 29, 2026, once again at the Encore Boston Harbor in Everett, MA. Each fall, some 1,800 New England Council members and guests, representing business and organizations throughout the six-state region, gather in the greater Boston area for the Council’s Annual Celebration. The event has become one of the region’s most anticipated and well-attended business events.
Honor Remarkable New Englanders
The highlight of the event is the presentation of the prestigious “New Englander of the Year” awards. First presented over 60 years ago, the award honors residents and natives of the New England states for their commitment and contributions to economic growth and prosperity in our region. Over the years, the Council has honored leaders from both the public and private sectors, such as U.S. Senators and Representatives, Governors, cabinet secretaries, college presidents, non-profit executives, prominent journalists, and CEOs of some of the region’s most respected and successful businesses.
Stay tuned for the announcement of our 2026 New Englanders of the Year in the coming months!
