What Is The Small Business Congress (SBC)?

The Small Business Congress (SBC) is NSBA’s biennial gathering of small-business leaders from across the U.S. to set the organization’s federal policy priorities for the upcoming session of Congress. It typically takes place in February in Washington, D.C. following a presidential or Congressional mid-term election.

During the SBC, attendees:

  • Debate and vote on the top small-business issues

  • Hear from policy experts and elected officials

  • Network with fellow business owners and advocates

  • Help shape NSBA’s official advocacy agenda

The resulting priority issues become the foundation of NSBA’s policy work on Capitol Hill. [learn more]
