About Us

HOME TO THE ARTS, ENTERTAINMENT AND HISTORY.

Discover Schenectady County is a non-profit organization responsible for promoting travel, tourism, conference and convention assets and opportunities throughout Schenectady County. Discover Schenectady inspires visitors to experience and enjoy all that Schenectady County has to offer, from its vibrant communities with dining, entertainment and shopping to its gorgeous waterfront and outdoor activities.

Our staff works collectively to promote our County attractions through initiatives like the Schenectady Ale Trail, bring in new businesses by booking meetings, conferences and tour groups, and even plan events of our own, like Discover Schenectady's Hotel Week, to showcase our partners!

In addition to our staff, Discover Schenectady is governed by a dedicated and passionate Board of Directors.
