The Hive: The Indigenous Collective is pleased to announce the upcoming Entrepreneurship & Connections Summit, taking place January 9–10, 2027, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day at the Agricultural Hall of Fame in Bonner Springs, Kansas.

Through our Bridge program, The Hive is building a regional network that connects Indigenous entrepreneurs, community leaders, educators, and organizations with the resources and relationships needed to support long-term economic opportunity. This two-day summit will bring that work together through presentations, panel discussions, practical business resources, and opportunities for meaningful collaboration.

Our focus includes Indigenous entrepreneurship, business development, grant readiness, food sovereignty, agricultural education, and youth engagement. We believe that strengthening Indigenous communities means investing in our people, supporting our knowledge systems, and creating opportunities that build lasting connections across Kansas and Missouri.

We are currently welcoming presenters, community partners, sponsors, and volunteers who want to contribute to this growing regional network. Whether you have expertise to share, resources to connect, or a desire to invest in Indigenous-led community development, we invite you to be part of this work.

To discuss presenting, sponsorship, partnership opportunities, or volunteering, contact:

Community support also helps sustain The Hive’s programs and ongoing work. Contributions to our general fund can be made through our Zeffy donation link.

Together, we are building connections between people, land, knowledge, and opportunity to strengthen Indigenous entrepreneurship and community development throughout our region.
