Please note, due to an overwhelming interest in speaking for this event we cannot guarantee abstract selection. We will review all abstracts submitted and preference will be given to Federal agencies, panels with multiple companies, and new and innovative education topics. Space is also available for dedicated guaranteed breakout sessions by sponsoring.
All submitted abstracts will receive a status update notification by November 15, 2021. If selected, speakers will be provided a link to register along with additional speaker information and instructions.

Abstracts are evaluated using a peer review process. Each abstract will be evaluated by a panel of Small Business Council members and Small Business professionals from the National 8(a) Association using the following criteria: quality of abstract, accuracy, overall quality of writing, and relevance of the subject to the focus areas. The review process takes four weeks to complete. Notifications of acceptance for the National 8(a) Association 2022 National Small Business Conference will be sent the week of November 15, 2021.
