The Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce has announced the launch of the Elevate Business Series (EBS), a new program set to begin in February 2026. This initiative replaces the previous Small Business Series and is designed to offer broader support for small and medium-sized businesses in Gwinnett County.
According to the Chamber, EBS will provide expanded content, including more specialized speakers and practical takeaways aimed at helping local businesses innovate, scale, and stay competitive. The decision to rebrand follows several years of growth in attendance and industry representation at past events, as well as increased demand for advanced business solutions.
Previous sessions under the Small Business Series included topics such as finance, workforce development, digital marketing, leadership, regulatory compliance, customer engagement, and operational efficiency. The new series will continue featuring subject-matter experts while broadening its scope to address evolving needs across various sectors.
The first event in the Elevate Business Series is scheduled for February 24, 2026, at 11:30 a.m. in the Education Room at the Gwinnett Chamber headquarters. Sarah Tourville, CEO of Media Frenzy, will present on strategic communications and brand positioning for growing companies.
The program is open to all businesses in the greater Gwinnett area interested in networking and growth opportunities. For further details about participation or upcoming events, contact Candy Rodriguez. Additional dates and speakers are expected to be announced soon.
