The summit will have the theme of ‘Celebrating Resilience and Renewal’ to honor the more than 30 million small businesses in the United States. As well as placing a spotlight on the resilience of America’s entrepreneurs throughout the pandemic, National Small Business Week also celebrates the renewal of the small business economy.

National Small Business Week Schedule Released

Several events during the National Small Business Week (NSBW) this year will provide opportunities for entrepreneurs and small business owners to network with each other and with industry experts. There will be forums to discuss and learn about new business strategies and connect with other business owners.

A lot of the sessions during the event will be focused on business resilience, such as how to make your small business more accessible. There will also be sessions dedicated to learning how to gain capital for women entrepreneurs, while the funders and founders of Black-owned businesses will be sharing their real life stories.

Honoring the Economic Impact of Small Businesses

The SBA’s Administrator, Isabella Casillas Guzman, made the announcement for the event schedule via video message, saying: “As the voice for America’s 30 million small businesses and innovative startups, it is my pleasure to announce the SBA’s annual National Small Business Week Summit. Over the last 16 months, we have seen the incredible determination and ingenuity of small businesses across the nation.

“During NSBW, we will honor and celebrate their impact on our economy and strengthening of communities as we look towards recovery. NSBW is the perfect time for small businesses across the nation to network and learn about the many services and programs at the U.S. Small Business Administration, including our no-cost business counseling and mentoring opportunities available via our district offices and resource partners. We look forward to celebrating with you as we rebuild our economy and help our small businesses build back better.”
