Chase for Business' Second Annual Make Your Move Summit Heads to Southern California This June Sofia Vergara will join entrepreneurs and top industry experts for Chase's signature business owner event at the Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, California

California isn't just a hotspot for entertainment, it's also among the best hubs in the country for entrepreneurs. In fact, the state has seen a consistent year-over-year increase in small businesses – and it's not expected to slow any time soon. As of 2023, California had the highest number of small businesses in the U.S.— 4.1 million— representing 99.8% of the state's total number of businesses and employing more than 7.5 million residents.

While the business scene in the Golden State is trending up, local entrepreneurs are not exempt from the ongoing challenges faced by business owners around the world. In fact, inflation (35%), rising taxes (19%) and the ability to grow sales/revenue (18%) were all cited as top challenges for business owners, according to Chase's 2024 Business Leaders Outlook Survey.

To help entrepreneurs overcome these challenges and continue pushing their business forward, Chase for Business is inviting business owners to join industry experts, celebrities such as Sofia Vergara and more for the second annual Make Your Move Summit at the Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes in Southern California.

The complimentary event, held June 10-12, will give attendees the opportunity to hear from top speakers in business and participate in breakout sessions specially curated to provide inspiration and tips on how to start, run and grow their business. Activities include:

• June 10 – Welcome reception and summit kick-off, access to The Chase for Business Marketplace featuring giveaways from local California businesses and an exclusive performance by a special guest.
• June 11 – A full day of programming with thought leaders, athletes and business owners, plus breakout sessions on topics such as:
