Entrepreneurs will help create the future of Minnesota. For the fifth year, the Connecting Entrepreneurial Communities conference will bring together community champions, entrepreneurship enablers, economic development professionals, entrepreneurs and business leaders.
Together, we can create the kind of supportive networks that help entrepreneurs succeed in our communities. By enhancing regional cooperative network development and use, we will:
-
Showcase tools and resources available to support entrepreneurs in Minnesota.
-
Provide neighboring communities with the opportunity to learn from each other and share ideas that support local entrepreneurs.
-
Bring other state and national resources to Minnesota's regional networks — growing the number of resources we tap.
-
Feature panel discussions with innovative members of the Launch Minnesota Network.
The conference is being led by University of Minnesota Extension Department of Community Development and joined by the Minnesota Small Business Development Centers, Rethos, Launch Minnesota, Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, and other entrepreneurship supporting organizations.
Cost
- $80 before August 1
- $100 after August 1
