2011 Event Testimonials: 

"As this economic "retreat" continues, time remains my most valuable commodity. I spend it frugally and with great thought. There is one event that remains at the top of my MUST GO TO LIST: The Annual U.S. Chamber Small Business Summit. I close more lucrative deals, enrich rewarding business relationships, establish new ones with powerhouse thought leaders and stay on top of what my country's doing for me than any other thing I could do all year. I wholeheartedly encourage anyone who desires to make a difference in their company and in our country to mark their calendars to attend this event every year."

- Rebecca Antonelli, Serial Entrepreneur, Speaker, Publicist

"The agenda was very solid and I hope to return in the future with a larger group!”
