Each year since 2014, POWERUP DC has been a valuable resource for many in the DC small business community. Hosted by DC Health Link, its business partners, media partners, and the DC Health Link Small Business Brain Trust, POWERUP DC was developed to celebrate and support the small business community by providing enriching business resources and networking opportunities through a range of cutting edge seminars, special events and focused presentations. During POWERUP DC, government and private sector representatives present the latest business trends and opportunities for small businesses.

The presence of the COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the way business is conducted in the District of Columbia and throughout the country. The 5th Annual POWERUP DC will be presented in a different format and style — a FREE virtual forum on an interactive platform (WebEx). The format is designed to provide small businesses, women-owned businesses, non-profits and young entrepreneurs with information, tools, resources and opportunities to be resilient as they reimagine and innovate ways of doing business in a new era. Opportunities to support the revitalization and stability of small businesses through COVID-19 will also be shared along with updates on DC Health Link’s response to COVID-19.
