This year’s National Small Business Week’s theme – “Building on the Small Business Boom” –celebrates the surge in entrepreneurship and resilience of small businesses under the Biden-Harris Administration. The NSBW Virtual Summit expands on that theme, featuring fourteen educational workshops presented by event cosponsors, access to federal resources, and networking and mentorship opportunities. Participants will be able to learn about everything from writing a business plan to improving online marketing and e-commerce.
