Central Wyoming Innovation and Entrepreneurship Conference

Join us for the second annual CWIE Conference, bringing together leaders, educators, entrepreneurs, and organizations from across Wyoming and beyond to share resources, build connections, and collaborate on advancing economic development and innovation. Our goal is to strengthen the ecosystem supporting entrepreneurship, small business development, and workforce growth—especially within Career & Technical Education (CTE). Many CTE students will go on to work in or lead small businesses, particularly in the trades, which are vital to our economy. This conference highlights pathways, tools, and partnerships that empower the next generation of business owners and skilled professionals. This year’s conference features keynote speakers with diverse expertise in business, entrepreneurship, leadership, and innovation, along with breakout sessions led by state partners and organizations covering relevant programs, projects, and opportunities.
