Small Business Week 2026
Small business are the heartbeat of Edmonton. From the corner café to the family-run shop to the founder building something new from their kitchen table, small businesses create the character, culture and community that make our city home.
Small Business Week, presented by Servus Credit Union, is the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce's annual celebration of these local champions, and a chance for our business community to come together, swap ideas, share a laugh and grow alongside each other.

Monday
Small Business Launchpad
Small Business Launchpad kicks off the week with the foundations every small business professional needs, from economic insight over breakfast, to confident communication, a professional headshot, and practical AI skills. New to business? This is your launchpad. Been at it a while? Consider it your tune-up. Either way, you'll leave ready for what's in store for this week and for your business.
Tuesday
HR Essentials
Tuesday is all about the people behind your business, from the team you're building to the systems that support them. Hear from local experts in an HR panel discussion on what it really means to lead with people in mind. Get personalized guidance in a 1:1 HR consultation, learn more about HR essentials from the professionals, and cap off the day with a networking mixer.
Wednesday
Government & Defence Procurement
Defence and government procurement aren't just for the big players. Through two sessions and a panel discussion, small businesses will learn how to break into the defence supply chain, understand what buyers are really looking for, and hear directly from those who've done it.
Thursday
Fostering a Vibrant Edmonton
This day is about the connections that make Edmonton stronger: the partnerships, players, and people behind a thriving local economy. Hear how community and business intersect in the Small Business Spotlight on Sundog Tours and close the day with a networking mixer presented by Rogers. It's less about what your business sells, and more about the city you're building it in. Additional session details available soon!
Friday
#ShopLocalYEG
Close out Small Business Week by celebrating the businesses you can see, taste, and shop right here in Edmonton. #ShopLocalYEG is a chance to spotlight local products, storefronts, and experiences, and connect directly with the businesses that make shopping and dining local worth it. Come ready to discover new favourites, connect the businesses and their owners that give Edmonton its character, and celebrate everything that makes shopping local an easy choice, all week long.
The countdown is on! Get your tickets now.
