SBDC Day 2026 was a huge success across Las Vegas and Reno! 🎉 With rooms packed full of meaningful connections, we celebrated outstanding small businesses and the partners who support them, and the energy was incredible in both cities. Thank you to everyone who joined us - from entrepreneurs, advisors, partners, and policymakers - for showing up and reinforcing what makes Nevada’s small business community so strong. We cant do what we do without our amazing partners at U.S. Small Business Administration, The College of Business at the University of Nevada, Reno, our supporters at Nevada Governors Office of Economic Development - GOED, University of Nevada, Reno, Government and Community Engagement, and the many institutions who host our advisors, including UNLV Office of Economic Development, Henderson Chamber of Commerce, Urban Chamber of Commerce - Nevada, Vegas Chamber, City of North Las Vegas, Nevada - Municipal Government and many more across our great state. And a very special thank you to all of our elected representatives who showed support to us and our small business clients, including Congresswoman Dina Titus, Congresswoman Susie Lee, Congressman Steven Horsford, Sen. Jacky Rosen, and Senator Catherine Cortez Masto. We’re proud to be part of Nevadas economic momentum. #SBDCDayImage attachmentImage attachment+Image attachment
