The Town of Leesburg strives to stay connected to our business community, and we’ve found one of the best ways to do that is through a variety of business events – celebratory, informative, problem-solving, or networking. Below you will find descriptions of these events and opportunities to register to participate or host events such as ribbon cuttings.

The annual 2025 Leesburg Business Awards will be held 6:00 – 8:30pm on Wednesday, May 7th at The Building People event space at 215 Depot Court.
The 2025 Leesburg Business Award People’s Choice Voting is now open through March 27th!

Small Business Forum
Each year the Leesburg Economic Development Commission (EDC) hosts at least two Small Business Forums where Leesburg Small Business owners and representatives are invited to discuss and provide inputs on focus areas for the EDC. The forums are free to attend, and a great way to network with other business areas. Specific information about each forum will be posted here with a link to RSVP to each event.
The 2021 Spring Business Forum was held April 22, 2021 virtually. If you are interested in future events to discuss the current business environment, please contact Melanie Scoggins.
