The Redwood Coast Region Economic Summit returns October 1–2, 2026, at the Arcata Community Center with this year’s theme: Rural Innovation: Build, Connect, Grow.

​

This annual two-day gathering brings together leaders, businesses, and community members from Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake, Mendocino, and Trinity counties, along with neighboring tribal lands, all focused on fostering innovation and strengthening regional collaboration.

​

This year’s summit will highlight manufacturing, networking, and collaboration, with conversations focused on how we can build on our region’s legacy and future—from niche production to food and beverage—while supporting emerging industries and strengthening connections across the Redwood Coast.

​

A Farm to Table Dinner is planned for Thursday evening, hosted by the Arcata Chamber, Humboldt Made, and the North Coast Growers Association, offering another opportunity to connect (additional ticket required)! The summit will also kick off with a Welcome Event on Wednesday at Start Up Humboldt, hosted by the Arcata Chamber, Start Up Humboldt, and Humboldt Made—plus a full weekend of events happening across Humboldt County for those who choose to stay and explore!

​

More details coming soon—stay tuned.
