In this panel, small business owners will join Irene Walker & Flavia Cuervo from Facebook Elevate to discuss how digital tools and personalized ads have given businesses the ability to thrive in the pandemic. The panel will also provide the audience with actionable takeaways on things they can do to help their businesses and walk away inspired.
