Full Event Description & Details

The U.S. Small Business Administration and SCORE Association will host a free, 2-day Virtual Summit during National Small Business Week. The summit will occur Tuesday, April 30 – Wednesday, May 1, 2024.

The summit will be hosted entirely over the Internet and allow users to connect with industry experts, mentors and fellow business owners via a virtual, interactive environment. This event will include free educational webinars, one-on-one mentoring sessions, exhibitor booths, and networking chat rooms to provide information to succeed as a small business owner.

Registration is FREE to the public and offers all the best parts of an in-person conference but without the hassle of traveling.

Here’s what attendees said about our last virtual summit:

• “Just a wealth of information provided. Last 6 months, I have been planning to start an online business. The conference allowed me to locate reliable information…The commercial sponsors also provided an enormous amount of information in the exhibit hall. Information that I couldn't find by myself online.”
• "Extremely convenient and full of useful, relevant information. Easy to navigate from the comfort of wherever you may be."
• “I think this is a great place to get loads of information from and if you still can't find it, you can chat with someone who knows the answer right here.”
• “[This conference] gave me access to good information, introduced me to new companies and opened my eyes to companies that make running my business much easier.”

Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with mentors, companies, resources, and business owners to help your small business succeed. For more information, please visit https://www.score.org/national-small-business-week.
