Small Business Month: a real platform to empower female entrepreneurship in Miami

In the context of Small Business Month, the U.S. Hispanic Women’s Chamber of Commerce continues to build spaces where ideas are not only shared—but transformed into real growth opportunities.

On Tuesday, May 12, 2026, the business community will witness a gathering that places at the center what truly drives the entrepreneurial ecosystem: vision, courage, and action.

A stage where ideas become strategy

In this special edition, five Chamber members will present their business ideas before Vicki L. Lopez, in a format designed to generate tangible value.

More than a presentation, this space aims to provide:

  • High-level strategic feedback
  • Practical guidance to scale their ventures
  • Real-world insights to strengthen their business models

This is a key exercise for any entrepreneur: putting their vision in front of decision-makers and receiving insights that can redefine their business path.

An experience that strengthens the ecosystem

This event is not only valuable for participants—it benefits the entire community in attendance. It will be a morning to:

  • Hear real entrepreneurial stories
  • Learn through experience and mentorship
  • Connect with other professionals and leaders
  • Be inspired by women taking the next step in their growth

Because when one woman dares to present her idea, she doesn’t just move forward—the entire ecosystem advances.

Event details

📅 Tuesday, May 12, 2026
🕘 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM
📍 Miami Dade College – Wolfson Campus
Building 2, Ground Floor, BIT Center

This space is supported by Miami Dade College – Wolfson Campus BIT Center, a key partner in talent development and education in the city.

The value of supporting and belonging

Events like this reflect the Chamber’s true purpose: creating bridges between ideas, opportunities, and leadership.

Supporting these five entrepreneurs is also an invitation to be part of a community that believes in collective growth, collaboration, and the power of opening doors.

Today more than ever, the message is clear:
entrepreneurship is not a solitary path—it is a journey strengthened by community, guidance, and spaces like this.

👉 Join us and be part of this gathering that is shaping the future of women-led businesses.

Because every idea deserves an opportunity.
And every woman who moves forward opens the path for many more.
