Oregon Coast Economic Summit Registration Now Open
Registration is now open for the 2025 Oregon Coast Economic Summit, one of Oregon’s premier economic development events. Scheduled for September 25–26 at the newly renamed Ko-Kwel Casino and Resort in Coos Bay, the Summit brings together state leaders, coastal policymakers, and innovative changemakers for two days of future-focused discussion, collaboration, and community building.
The Oregon Coast Economic Summit – organized by the Coastal Caucus – is one of the premier economic summits in the state of Oregon organized by elected officials. It is a respectful, bi-partisan, space for policymakers, lawmakers and agency directors and managers to come together and talk about the future.
This year's workshops and keynotes will:
- Focus on timely and relevant economic development
- Inspire innovative economic development approaches
- Be unique to the Oregon Coast or coastal communities
- Be scalable and/or replicable across multiple cities, counties, or communities
- Balance economic development with environmental stewardship
- Offer regenerative or environmentally sustainable solutions
- Demonstrate collaborative approaches with cross-sector partnerships
- Be future-focused — not rooted in the past or present
