As our CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said, we need to make it easier for people to grow businesses or find jobs. The 80 million small businesses on Facebook represent one of the largest communities of small businesses in the world. And we are building more technology and new programs based on their feedback to help them grow, trade, and hire.
Today, in celebration of Small Business Week we are delighted to announce dates and new cities for Facebook events:
