Small Business Summit 2018 | US Chamber of Commerce | 2 October 2018 | U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, 1615 H St NW, Washington, DC 20062, USA

Now in its fourteenth year, the Small Business Summit will celebrate the small business owners we engage with around the nation and bring together leading business experts to inspire and educate business leaders with new tools, strategies, and best practices to bring back to their companies and communities. 2018 marks the second Summit happening as part of our nationwide small business tour - from Dallas to Atlanta, the Twin Cities to Phoenix - to connect with business owners and entrepreneurs in their neighborhoods. The Summit will highlight business leaders we have met along the way, and we’ll share their inspiring stories of success and perseverance. And we'll build rich moments for dynamic networking opportunities throughout the program, along with breakout deep dives sessions on topics as diverse as cyber security, branding and marketing, and business growth strategies.

Who you will see?
Small business owners from across the country will come together to hear from industry disrupters, seasoned entrepreneurs, and the best and brightest business leaders across sectors. They’ll cover small business-specific topics ranging from growth strategies, talent acquisition and mentorship, cyber security, and branding and social media.

What to Expect?
We are equal parts networking and community-building, takeaways and business strategies, and success stories that you can use immediately to help your business grow. You’ll have the opportunity to connect one-on-one with speakers, network with fellow business leaders of all sizes, and learn about small business solutions from top companies.
