More than 2,000 small business owners will descend on Washington for the first-ever 10,000 Small Businesses Summit: The Big Power of Small Business from Feb. 13-14. They will charge Capitol Hill with more than 2,000 small business owners to chart a path for growth and share their experiences and insights with policymakers. Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO Lloyd C. Blankfein, Berkshire Hathaway Chairman and CEO Warren Buffett, and founder of Bloomberg LP and Bloomberg Philanthropies and three-term Mayor of New York City Michael R. Bloomberg, among numerous other industry leaders and policymakers, will also participate in the Summit.

One of the largest-ever gatherings of small business owners, the summit represents an extension of the 10,000 Small Businesses program, which provides practical business education and access to capital for small businesses. Thousands of small business owners and 10,000 Small Businesses program alumni from across the U.S. will participate in the two-day event and focus on charting a path to help small businesses grow and compete successfully. To date nationally, Goldman Sachs’s 10,000 Small Businesses program has reached more than 8,000 small business owners across all 50 states.
