The 2026 Abundancy Concept: A Small Business Workshop (Douglas County)

Connect. Learn. Discover what’s possible for your business.

CCD Business Development Corporation is proud to partner with Business Oregon to bring The 2026 Abundancy Concept to Douglas County. A half-day professional development workshop created for small business owners, entrepreneurs, and nonprofit organizations.

Running a business or organization can sometimes feel like figuring everything out on your own. The Abundancy Concept brings the people, information, tools, and resources available in our region together in one place so you can make connections, discover new opportunities, and walk away with practical ideas you can put to work.

Throughout the morning, you’ll hear from subject matter experts, connect with local and statewide resource partners, and network with other businesses and organizations from across the region.
