NEW YORK, NY– Inc. and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce continue to host weekly Town Halls for small businesses, now underwritten by Comcast Business, a subsidiary of the American telecommunications conglomerate Comcast Corporation.
Inc., in partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, launched the weekly virtual series of National Small Business Town Halls to help business owners get actionable insight and information to navigate important government programs and to keep their businesses running during this unprecedented time. Since the series launched on March 27th, Inc. and the U.S. Chamber have convened thousands of small business owners to provide resources, answer questions, and ensure that their companies and employees remain supported and safe. Video replays of the Town Halls have been viewed almost three million times with thousands of questions addressed from small business owners.
“Inc. has been the most trusted brand for American small business for 40 years, but never has that trust been more important and never has our obligation to the entrepreneurial community been greater. Owners need information now. Questions answered yesterday. Our interactive Town Halls have proven to be one of the best ways to get need-to-know guidance out there,” said Inc. Editor-in-Chief Scott Omelianuk.
“We are thrilled to partner with Inc. and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on their town hall series as part of our ongoing efforts to support small businesses during this challenging time,” said Eileen Diskin, CMO of Comcast Business. “We are proud to be a technology provider for businesses across the country, and as they look for timely and credible information, we hope this can help them better navigate and steer through what is happening.”
“Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and are being severely impacted by the economic downfall due to the coronavirus pandemic. These webinars have been incredibly valuable in helping small businesses understand the funding and resources being made available to them through efforts like the CARES Act,” said Neil Bradley, executive vice president and chief policy officer, U.S. Chamber of Commerce. “Answering questions and providing guidance to this critical sector is more important today than ever before so we can help small businesses, gig economy workers, and independent contractors get the funding they need to weather this economic coronavirus shock.”
The fifth National Small Business Town Hall, underwritten by Comcast Business, will be held at 12 p.m. EDT on Friday, April 24. RSVP: events.inc.com/nationaltownhallevents.
