Join other like-minded communities at the 2026 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. And this year CEC will innovate once again as two Newaygo
County communities, Fremont Area Chamber of Commerce and River Country Chamber of Commerce of Newaygo County,
partner to host!

A signature element unique to CEC is that all breakout sessions are embedded within community buildings and storefronts
n downtown! Attendees will fully experience downtown Fremont and Newaygo 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.
