We are currently planning the ninth annual National Small Business Exporter Summit, a virtual event that will take place on October 29, 2025. This event brings together the top small and medium-sized exporters, trade professionals and trade assistance providers from across the United States, providing them with an opportunity to exchange and share best practices and lessons learned that have contributed to their export success.

When embarking on your journey to exporting, it's hard to know where to start. "What financing options are available to support my export activities?" or "How can I identify what international markets are suitable for my product?" may be questions you're asking yourself, but you're unsure of where to go for those answers. That's where U.S. Export Assistance Centers (USEACs) and Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) come in. USEACs and SBDCs help small businesses navigate the complexities of exporting with ease.
