Rural Ecosystem Builders coalition regional conferences
Oklahoma Farm Bureau is seeking vendors to participate in rural resource conferences, hosted in collaboration with rural entrepreneurship resource providers across the state of Oklahoma. The Rural Ecosystem Builders coalition plans to host four regional conferences in Northeast, Northwest, Southeast and Southwest Oklahoma in February and March 2025. Each conference will take place on a separate date in quadrants of the state throughout the months of February and March.
These events are intended to promote the resources available to rural entrepreneurs in Oklahoma and to offer continuing education opportunities for all individuals engaged in rural entrepreneurship. Additionally, the events will be opportunities to spur ideation into startup creation by way of a one-day idea accelerator guiding founders from an idea to a business plan ready to be acted upon. Through the condensed idea accelerator, new small businesses will be planted throughout rural Oklahoma by way of the regional rural conferences.
Please see the full RPF (link below) for all applicable details, requirements and disclosures.
