Now in its fifth year, the summit brings together changemakers, entrepreneurs, and community leaders from across Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake, Mendocino, and Trinity counties, as well as neighboring tribal lands, to foster innovation, collaboration, and regional growth.This year’s theme, Harvesting Growth: Transforming Rural Economies, will spark fresh conversations around downtown revitalization, tourism, and innovative rural development, with a special focus on agri-tourism and the blue economy.
For the first time, the summit will be hosted in Lake County. Located along the western shore of Clear Lake, California’s largest natural freshwater lake, Lakeport is a growing hub for rural innovation. The city has made significant investments in infrastructure, restored historic landmarks and expanded support for small businesses and cultural programming. With a strong agricultural legacy and access to world-class outdoor recreation, Lakeport offers an ideal setting to spotlight rural resilience and economic opportunity. This marks a new chapter—and a unique opportunity to highlight Lake County’s leadership in rural innovation and economic transformation.
