Connecting Entrepreneurial Communities

Website banner with logo

The first-ever Connecting Entrepreneurial Communities conference will be held in Kingman, Kansas, on June 26, and 27, 2025 with a pre-conference concert event on June 25.

Entrepreneurial communities are those cities, neighborhoods, or townships that are continuously working to develop an environment that fosters entrepreneurship to promote community economic development. They have created networks, cultures, resources, and policies enabling invention, innovation, and entrepreneurship.

Whether you work in economic development, business, arts and culture, government, philanthropy, the nonprofit sector, or education, you have an important role in supporting local businesses and entrepreneurial development in communities. There is something for everyone!

This project has received funding and support from K-State 105, Kansas State University's economic growth and advancement initiative for all 105 counties in Kansas. Learn more at k-state.edu/105.
