Connecting Entrepreneurial Communities conference

K-State Research and Extension and several partners are working together to promote small communities and highlight people, businesses and best practices for creating an entrepreneurial mindset.

These partners are planning a Connecting Entrepreneurial Communities conference in June 2025 and June 2026. The conferences will aim to expand equitable entrepreneurial capacity by sharing knowledge, tools and resources with Kansans.

Conference host communities:

The Connecting Entrepreneurial Communities conference will take place in host communities that must be small cities with a population of less than 10,000 people. Kingman in Kingman County will be the host site in June 2025 and Courtland in Republic County will be the host site in June 2026.
