Join other like-minded communities at the 2025 Connecting Entrepreneurial Communities (CEC) Conference. CEC is a one-of-a-kind conference designed to share ideas, learn about helpful resources, and empower each other to support local entrepreneurs and a community’s entrepreneurial thinking.

A signature element unique to CEC is that all breakout sessions are embedded within community buildings and storefronts in downtown Lapeer. By design, attendees will fully experience downtown Lapeer and have plenty of time to network, walk, and patronize local businesses between sessions. Participants will also learn best practices from state and local entrepreneurial professionals. 

The CEC conference starts at noon, Thursday, May 29 and ends at noon on Friday, May 30 in Lapeer. The registration fee includes two lunches, the Thursday evening networking event, two local entrepreneur keynotes, and numerous breakout sessions to choose from. Each attendee will be able to attend five sessions. Registrants must reserve and pay for their own accommodations.
