Guest,

Many thanks for your continued interest in U.S. Chamber of Commerce events. I'm delighted to invite you to the Chamber's fourteenth annual Small Business Summit (https://bit.ly/2joAgh4) here in DC, featuring networking opportunities, interactive discussions, and educational tools for small businesses and the organizations that partner with them.

As a capstone to the regional Small Business Series, the Chamber has worked hard to ensure that this year's Summit is even more valuable to you. We'll kick off on October 2 with a welcome reception and, on October 3, roll up our sleeves for a jam-packed day of content, topped off by our Dream Big Awards Gala that evening.

Across workshops, presentations, and discussions, we'll cover such topics as:

- Cybersecurity: Understand the top threats facing small businesses and learn easy steps to protect your organization at any size
- Defining and Building Your Brand: ​Communicate brand voice to customers and grow an audience through digital marketing, automation, and storytelling
- Recruiting and Retaining Talent: Scale your business by hiring employees who fit the company culture
- Accessing Capital: Explore both traditional and nontraditional sources of capital and learn how to position a business to appeal to lenders
- And many other topics affecting small businesses across the country

A first look at speakers joining us follows below.
