We are delighted to announce the upcoming Keystone Business Summit, a transformative gathering of minds set to take place at the Shippensburg University Conference Center on May 9, 2025. With a conference theme of “Surviving and Thriving in the Digital Age: Bridging Generations, Embracing Technology, and Prioritizing Wellness,” this Summit promises to be a beacon of innovation, collaboration, and profound learning.

This event will serve as a hub where ideas flourish, connections are forged, and collaborations come to life. As we stand at the intersection of community development, non-profit initiatives, and entrepreneurial ventures, your insights and expertise are invaluable. We are reaching out to you, the pioneers of change, to craft the narrative of growth and unity that defines our regional business and community landscape.

At the 2025 Summit, we aim to explore the synergies between community engagement, non-profit endeavors, and business innovation. We are calling for your workshop proposals to illuminate the path forward. Your workshop could be the spark that ignites new collaborations, empowers grassroots initiatives, or propels businesses toward sustainable success. We are seeking 45-minute proposals that reflect a diverse array of perspectives, experiences, and cutting-edge knowledge. Whether you specialize in groundbreaking technologies, sustainable practices, transformative leadership, or any other area that drives business excellence, we encourage you to submit your workshop proposals.
