Why Attend GREAT Week?
According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, small businesses account for 99.9% of all U.S. businesses and employ nearly half the nation’s workforce. Small businesses are key to developing the local economy because their profits are more likely to go back into the community. Events like GREAT Week accelerate the progress of small business owners and entrepreneurs by providing key networking and learning opportunities that foster economic growth.
