(11:30 AM ET) The new year brings a new administration, a new Congress, and a new day for small businesses attempting to recover from the lasting impact of the COVID pandemic. Many business owners have learned to innovate, embracing new technologies and new business models in order to stay afloat, showing their resilience and begging the question - what will "normal" even look like for business owners? How do we move from COVID relief to a full recovery? What support do small business owners still urgently need? How have microbusinesses, minority-owned businesses, and those who could not access PPP funds fared during these difficult days and how can we ensure their prosperity? Featuring: Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD), Ranking Member, Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-MO), Member, House Financial Services Committee; Ranking Member, Subcommittee on Consumer Protection and Financial Institutions Ron Busby, President and CEO, U.S. Black Chambers Inc.

That we find ourselves here in less than a year is perhaps nothing short of a medical miracle. But the hard work is just beginning. How do you manufacture and distribute a vaccine to nearly 7.8 billion people? The Hill will convene an online summit on the vaccine discovery, production, and distribution challenge. Join for one session or both: The Manufacturing (1:15 PM ET/10:15 AM PT) There are 7.8 billion people in the world, and leading experts say that the target number for vaccination must reach 70% of those, or roughly 5.5 billion people. The scale is staggering. Are we prepared? Featuring: Dr. Anthony Fauci, Chief Medical Adviser on COVID-19 to the President & Director, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Francis S. Collins, Director, National Institutes of Health Dr. Mikael Dolsten, Chief Scientific Officer & President, Worldwide Research, Development and Medical, Pfizer Rep.

Wednesday, January 27 1:15 PM ET/10:15 AM PT The Distribution (2:30 PM ET/11:30 AM PT) Global supply chains and efficient distribution networks will determine how effectively a vaccine is able to offer protection. It will also need an unprecedented level of collaboration between the public and private sectors and between the federal and state governments. And then there is also the matter of trust.
