Small Business Summit: Built For What's Next 
Whether you're launching something new, leveling up your operations, or preparing for your next phase of growth, this event is designed to help you build what’s next. With three dynamic tracks tailored to different stages of business, you’ll gain practical strategies, expert insights, and meaningful connections to move forward with clarity and confidence.


As part of this year’s Summit programming, we’re also pleased to offer a special morning session in partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation and Google. Small Business B(AI)sics is a national initiative designed to help small businesses better understand and apply artificial intelligence in practical, everyday ways. This interactive session will introduce practical applications of AI for small business, including improving marketing and customer engagement, streamlining operations and workflow efficiency, and enhancing productivity and decision-making. Designed to be approachable and relevant, it will give attendees actionable ideas they can immediately apply to save time, reach more customers, and build stronger, more resilient businesses.


Choose Your Track: When you arrive, you’ll have the opportunity to select the track that best aligns with where you are in your business right now. Each track is thoughtfully designed with a progression of sessions that build on one another, offering a deeper, more cohesive experience. While optional, following a single track throughout the day will help you gain more relevant insights, stronger takeaways, and a clearer path forward.

Starting Strong – For early-stage businesses, solo owners, or new teams
Lay the groundwork for what’s next with sessions focused on legal and insurance essentials, building strong internal systems, and leveraging AI tools to work smarter from the start. 

Building Momentum – For growing businesses with some structure and team members in place
Build on what’s already working with sessions centered on innovation, financial clarity, and practical applications of AI to support smarter, more sustainable growth.

Scaling Smart – For established businesses, larger teams, or high-growth organizations
Build for long-term success with advanced conversations around team development, financial strategy, and leveraging AI to lead, optimize, and scale with intention.
