"Fostering small business growth is at the heart of what we do, and the National Small Business Week Virtual Summit embodies that commitment," said SCORE CEO Bridget Weston. "SCORE is proud to once again co-host this event with the SBA. We're looking forward to this opportunity to empower entrepreneurs with the timely, useful resources and information they need to launch and grow their businesses."

Every session at the Virtual Summit will deliver practical strategies that can be implemented right away to boost your business performance, increase efficiency and drive growth. Topics include AI, finance, e-commerce, marketing, mobile and tech security, hiring and other essential resources for business success.

In a celebration of America's small businesses, the winners of the 2025 Small Business Persons of the Year Award will also be honored at the Virtual Summit. These small business owners were selected as successful representatives of the American dream for their innovation, ingenuity, resilience and economic contributions to their community and country.

"The National Small Business Week Virtual Summit is a powerful opportunity for job creators to connect, learn and access valuable resources as we honor the entrepreneurs who drive innovation and economic growth across the country," said SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler. "Together we're building a future where every small business has the tools to thrive, powered by the America First agenda."

Here's what past attendees had to say about the summit:

• "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."
