The Kansas Small Business Development Center at Pittsburg State is hosting a Rural and Independent Innovators Conference on Tuesday, June 18 at Block 22 in downtown Pittsburg. The event starts at 8:30 am. Assistant Director Dacia Clark and Mindy Lee of the SBDC joined us on Morning Edition and spoke about both the conference and the focus on the SBDC. The day long conference was designed to help entrepreneurs and innovators start and grow their business, and turn their ideas into reality. RIIC is a series of events by the Kansas SBDC throughout the state and the June event is for the Southeast Kansas region. The conference is to open any business owner or someone thinking about starting a business in the Four States.

Registration is required. $35 for general admission and $20 for a student.
