(This came to me from Lakisha Higgins of Federal Home Reserve Bank - Steve)

I'd like to invite you to the State of Small Business Symposium we’re hosting with 10 Federal Reserve Banks on 6/24/26 - 6/25/26 in Cleveland, Ohio.

This is a free, two-day convening that brings together

• Current Federal Reserve research and data on small business trends (including findings from our Small Business Credit Survey)
• Practitioner voices sharing what’s working on capital access, AI implementation, succession planning, wraparound services, and rural strategies
• Cross-country networking with peers addressing similar challenges in different regions
• Actionable insights attendees can bring back to their communities immediately

This national convening features several concurrent sessions grounded in current research and practitioner insights. Each one is very applicable to the ever-changing work environment we are all facing.

Space is limited, so please register today using our link at: https://bit.ly/4sIrlqL
