SUMMARY:National Small Business Week Virtual Summit
DESCRIPTION:Register here: https://pxlme.me/kvsbXY8B \n  \nCelebrating resilience and renewal \nMeet other business owners and get expert advice at this free 3-day conference \n  \nAbout National Small Business Week \nFor more than 50 years\, the U.S. Small Business Administration has celebrated National Small Business Week (NSBW)\, which recognizes the critical contributions of America’s entrepreneurs and small business owners. This year is one unlike the half-century that has come before. \nWe are facing unique challenges together. However\, American small businesses continue to play a central role in building a strong country\, prepared for any obstacles in the future. \nMore than half of Americans either own or work for a small business\, and they create nearly two out of every three new jobs in the U.S. each year. As part of NSBW\, the SBA takes the opportunity to highlight the impact of outstanding entrepreneurs\, small business owners\, and others who support entrepreneurship from all 50 states\, Washington\, D.C. and U.S. territories. Additionally\, this year’s NSBW will recognize the small businesses who have navigated the coronavirus pandemic while supporting their employees and communities. There will be a number of presenters providing retooling and innovative practices for entrepreneurs as our nation’s small businesses look to pivot and recover towards a stronger economy. \nEvery day\, they’re working to grow small businesses\, create 21st-century jobs\, drive innovation\, and increase America’s global competitiveness.
