Innovation, Inspiration and Healthy Competition - National Small Business Week

ORLANDO, Fla. —On Sunday, May 5, the U.S. Small Business Administration National Small Business Week 2019 kicks off with a week-long celebration. National Small Business Week is proclaimed by the President of the United States to recognize the critical contributions made by America’s small businesses and entrepreneurs to our economy. More than half of Americans either own or work for a small business, and they create about two out of every three new jobs in the U.S. each year.

 


“Entrepreneurs drive innovation, foster healthy competition, and inspire the next generation of small business owners.” -GoDaddy


Since 1963, National Small Business Week recognizes the critical contributions of America’s entrepreneurs and small business owners. Manatee County has a wealth of local businesses; contact the Manatee Chamber of Commerce to learn the who’s who of the small business world.


The U.S. Small Business Administration and SCORE Association will host a free, 2-Day Virtual Conference during National Small Business Week. The conference will take place Tuesday, May 7 – Wednesday, May 8. Registration is free to the public and you can participate in all the webinars or pick and choose the topics you like.  You will also have the opportunity to meet other business owners and chat with industry experts. The Virtual Conference offers all the best parts of an in-person conference, but without the hassle of traveling.

The event will include free educational webinars, mentoring, and networking opportunities. Experts from Visa to address disaster recovery, Constant Contact, Square, Google, Chase, and the SBA will speak during the two-days.  Also, Comcast and Entrepreneur are going to present a webinar to discuss the impact of smart technology on small business growth, productivity, and customer experience. The webinar will cover customer experience, employee productivity and operations, and marketing strategies — on May 8th. Click here to register.
