The 2023 Wilkes-Barre Connect Conference will take place on Wednesday, October 25^th at Wilkes-Barre’s THINK Center. Featuring a theme of "Creative Solutions, Sustainable Impact," the Wilkes-Barre Connect Conference will demonstrate the power of our creative, innovative, and entrepreneurial spirit in Northeastern PA. 

We want our attendees to grow both personally and professionally from the conference content, become more educated on the tremendous innovation and creativity in Northeast PA, and have an opportunity to participate in building solutions to solve social and economic challenges in our region. 

With this conference centering around entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic development, there will be breakout tracks dedicated to both entrepreneurial content and community-centric workshops and roundtables focused on many of the regional social and economic challenges we address in our work, such as: workforce career pathways and exploration, barriers to entrepreneurship experienced by minority-owned businesses, housing, community engagement and quality of life, and more. The conference will also feature our Spotlight speaker series, highlighting an innovator or entrepreneur making an impact in the region, as well as a PITCH Showcase, highlighting the ventures of several entrepreneurs across the Greater Wyoming Valley.
