Governor Greg Abbott today congratulated the 15 Texas communities selected as 2026 Governor’s Small Business Summit host cities. Held throughout the year and in regions across the state, the Governor’s Small Business Summits aim to help Texas small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs succeed by connecting them with the resources and information needed to start, strengthen, and grow a business.

The Governor’s Small Business Summits offer a variety of sessions bringing together local, state, and federal resource partners to provide key insights on critical business topics. The Summits also provide participants with the opportunity to network with other business owners and meet experts who will share timely, relevant, and actionable advice on a multitude of small business topics.

Registration for the first two 2026 Governor’s Small Business Summit locations are open. Registration for the remaining Summits will open three months out from each event.
