CO-Blueprint, a virtual event series recently launched by CO-by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Chase for Business, will offer practical, actionable solutions as well as real-world advice for small business owners returning to work following COVID-19 closures.
In addition to tips and tools for reopening and rebuilding, the virtual series will also provide a safe forum for small business owners to ask questions and make one-on-one connections.
“For the past three years, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with local and state chambers, has gathered thousands of small business owners in diverse markets across the country to provide the tools they need to take their companies to the next level,” said Jeanette Mulvey, executive director of content strategy for small business products at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. “The 2020 virtual event series will honor the spirit of our in-person events by creating a safe forum to ask questions and a platform to make powerful connections.”
The series launches officially June 10 with a webinar focused on reopening businesses with subsequent events being held every other week beginning June 17 on Wednesdays at 2 p.m. EST. Each webinar will highlight a different region and focus on relevant topics like financial planning through uncertainty or restarting post-pandemic sales. National subject matter experts will be joined by a panel of regional small business owners who will offer their own challenges and solutions.
Launched by the U.S. Chamber in 2019, CO- is a platform designed to help business owners solve problems, break down barriers, and grow their companies through engaging digital content and events.
“One of the ways we can help business owners is by connecting them with other business leaders to build their network and share stories,” said John McCourt, Head of Client Relationships at Chase Business Banking. “Teaming with the U.S. Chamber to support the small business community is something we’re proud to do.”
