Big opportunities are on the horizon for Kitsap County—and local businesses that prepare now will be best positioned to thrive.

KEDA is proud to sponsor the Ready Kitsap: Business & Tourism Summit, a one-day event designed to help businesses understand what’s coming in 2026 and take practical steps today to scale, staff, and succeed.

Taking place on Thursday, January 15 at the Kitsap Conference Center, this summit brings together regional leaders, industry experts, and business support organizations to share insights on economic growth, workforce readiness, marketing, financial preparedness, and tourism-driven opportunities.

What to Expect

Throughout the day, attendees will gain:

• A clearer picture of upcoming economic and tourism impacts for Kitsap and Washington State
• Actionable strategies for scaling operations and strengthening staffing pipelines
• Tools to improve marketing, sales conversion, and financial readiness
• Opportunities to connect with regional partners, resource providers, and fellow business leaders

With major regional events, increased visitor activity, and continued economic investment on the horizon, the question isn’t if Kitsap will see growth—but whether businesses are prepared to capture it.
