For Loudoun Small Business Week!

Talk to almost anyone who started a small company and made it big, and the two things that took them from idea to IPO are the personal connections they made and the information they learned. Loudoun Small Business Week is designed to help you do those two things.

This year it runs from May 16-22. Each day of that week will feature workshops or networking opportunities focused around a specific topic. The anchor events are being planned, and we'd love to flesh out the schedule with additional activities. Check our website and let us know if you'd like to offer a workshop that would be helpful for startups and entrepreneurs, or whether you could host a networking event
