About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

In recognition of Disability Pride Month, AEO invites you to join us for From Access to Ownership: Building a Disability-Inclusive Future for Small Business, a national webinar celebrating the leadership, innovation, and contributions of disabled entrepreneurs—and exploring how we can build a more inclusive business ecosystem.

This event is part of AEO’s Equity and Opportunity for All webinar series and will bring together leaders, advocates, and practitioners to examine the barriers that disabled business owners continue to face—from capital access and procurement to inaccessible systems and services—and the community-driven strategies that are helping drive progress.

We will also preview key insights from AEO’s forthcoming Disability-Owned Business Fact Sheet, which highlights new data on the scale, impact, and unique needs of disabled entrepreneurs.

Together, we’ll discuss what it means to create a truly inclusive small business ecosystem—one that centers accessibility, equity, and ownership for all.
