The Savannah Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to work with all of our community partners for this year’s celebration of National Small Business Week.

In collaboration with the City of Savannah, the Greater Savannah Black Chamber of Commerce, the Metropolitan Savannah Area Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the Savannah Downtown Business Association, Savannah’s Master Calendar, and Savannah’s Waterfront, we’re excited to spotlight the small businesses that are the heartbeat of our local economy.

Festivities kicked off on Monday, May 5, with an Owner’s Council luncheon featuring a legislative wrap up discussion with local delegation. Throughout the week, community partners will host a variety of events including the Mayor’s Small Business Conference, the State of Small Business, the always-popular Reverse Trade Show at the Civic Center, and the return of Small Business Gives Back Day on Thursday. The celebration will wrap up with Shop Small Weekend, encouraging everyone to shop local and show support for our community’s entrepreneurs.

We look forward to recognizing the incredible impact of our small businesses and the partnerships that help them succeed.
