We are currently planning the ninth annual National Small Business Exporter Summit, a virtual event that will take place on October 29, 2025. This event brings together the top small and medium-sized exporters, trade professionals and trade assistance providers from across the United States, providing them with an opportunity to exchange and share best practices and lessons learned that have contributed to their export success.

Join the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM), in collaboration with the Organization of Women in International Trade-New York (OWIT-NY), the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), and the U.S. Commercial Service (USCS), for a free session:

Are you new to exporting? Experienced, but need a refresher or access to an economic development professional? Join us for a webinar where you'll learn how to navigate global logistics and use risk protection tools to expand your exports. Hear from the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) and Albuquerque Teams Worldwide as they share tools that will help your business succeed internationally.

When embarking on your journey to exporting, it's hard to know where to start. "What financing options are available to support my export activities?" or "How can I identify what international markets are suitable for my product?" may be questions you're asking yourself, but you're unsure of where to go for those answers. That's where U.S. Export Assistance Centers (USEACs) and Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) come in. USEACs and SBDCs help small businesses navigate the complexities of exporting with ease.

Did you know U.S. exports of goods and services reached approximately $3.23 trillion in 2024? If your business is focused only on domestic sales, you could be missing out on powerful growth opportunities abroad.

The Pacific Northwest Defense Coalition's (PNDC) 2025 Northwest Regulatory Compliance Conference is designed to provide comprehensive coverage on a wide variety of compliance-related matters, including import/export logistics and cybersecurity regulations. It is tailored to support Northwest companies in navigating the complexities of ITAR, EAR, and other critical trade controls.

Take Your Business Global With NVBDC

Hosted by the National Veteran Business Development Council’s (NVBDC) Services Committee, this webinar brings together experts from NVBDC, the ITA's VetsGoGlobal program, the SBA, and EXIM Bank to give a high-level overview of global trade opportunities.

With more than 95% of the world's consumers outside of the United States, opportunities abound for U.S. small businesses to sell internationally. Most export companies have an easier time riding out fluctuations in the U.S. economy and are more likely to stay in business. On average, sales grow faster, more jobs are created, and employees earn more than in non-exporting firms. 85% of U.S. exporters are small or medium-sized companies. This session will bring together federal and local resources to help you, no matter where you fall on the export spectrum, whether you have never considered exporting, are a new exporter, or a seasoned exporter.

Opportunity: Discover insights from import/export experts and foreign governments on maximizing opportunities to grow your international exports business and protect imports from increasing trade pressures.
