    National Small Business Week!

    🌟 National Small Business Week is Here! 🌟

    Join the Great Bend Chamber of Commerce as we celebrate the power of small businesses and the entrepreneurs who make our community thrive! 🛍️

    For more than 60 years, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has celebrated National Small Business Week (NSBW), which acknowledges the critical contributions of America’s entrepreneurs and small business owners. National Small Business Week 2025 will take place May 4-10, and SBA will officially recognize their hard work, ingenuity, and dedication, including their contributions to the economy. 

    The Great Bend Chamber of Commerce is partnering with the U.S. Small Business Administration and SCORE, mentors to America’s small businesses and an SBA resource partner, to present the 2025 National Small Business Week virtual summit. The free two-day online event will take place May 6 and 7 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT. Registration is required to attend online, BUT! we will have an in-person option in the chamber board room for your convenience.

    The virtual summit will feature educational workshops presented by cosponsors, access to federal resources, and networking and mentorship opportunities. Participants will be able to learn about a wide range of topics, including manufacturing, digital marketing, cybersecurity, AI, cryptocurrency, and online business resources. A detailed agenda and list of speakers for the virtual summit is available here.

    “Fostering small business growth is at the heart of what we do, and the National Small Business Week virtual summit embodies that commitment,” SCORE CEO Bridget Weston said. 

    The Great Bend Chamber of Commerce is bringing people together this week with dozens of options for learning, growth and networking. In addition to the all-day streaming events May 6-7th, we are also bringing leadership training, membership education, and health plan options to the table as well.

    • Tuesday, May 6th from 12-1pm in the chamber board room will be a leadership roundtable hosted by Move Your Mountain Coaching & Consulting. BYOL, drinks & dessert provided.
    • Wednesday, May 7th from 12-1pm in the chamber board room, Julie Mazouch, Membership Success Manager at the Great Bend Chamber of Commerce, will present Unlock Your Chamber Benefits: Member Info Center & Marketing Opportunities. BYOL, drinks & dessert provided.
