The Gwinnett Chamber has announced the introduction of the Elevate Business Series (EBS), which will launch in February 2026. This new initiative replaces the previous Small Business Series and is designed to support both small and medium-sized businesses in Gwinnett County.

According to the Chamber, EBS expands on the earlier program by offering a broader range of topics, specialized speakers, and practical strategies. The series aims to address advanced business needs as more organizations seek actionable solutions for innovation, growth, and competitiveness.

The decision to rebrand follows years of increased participation and demand for content relevant to a variety of industries. Previous sessions under the Small Business Series featured experts covering subjects such as finance, workforce development, digital marketing, leadership, regulatory compliance, customer engagement, and operational efficiency. The new EBS will continue this approach while widening its scope.

The first event is set for February 24, 2026 at 11:30 a.m., taking place in the Education Room at the Gwinnett Chamber headquarters. Sarah Tourville, CEO of Media Frenzy, will lead a session on strategic communications and brand positioning tailored for growing companies.

Participation in EBS is open to businesses across greater Gwinnett interested in networking and professional development opportunities. For more information about the program or future dates and speakers, contact Candy Rodriguez.

The Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce represents over 2,100 member businesses according to its official website, acting as an economic driver in one of the most diverse counties in the nation and supporting business interests through leadership connections. It organizes more than 220 events each year to foster networking among members. The organization received “Chamber of the Year” honors in 2023 and maintains high accreditation standards with a five-star rating from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce .

“The Elevate Business Series (EBS) will continue drawing on subject-matter specialists while expanding its scope to meet the evolving needs of businesses navigating growth across multiple sectors,” stated the Chamber’s announcement.

Additional details about upcoming sessions are expected soon.
