Strong communities don’t happen by accident — they’re built through collaboration, communication, and forward-thinking leadership.
Join us on October 13, 2026 for The Rural Advantage Conference, a half-day gathering focused on strengthening our regional economy, improving collaboration, and creating practical strategies that help businesses and organizations move forward together.
This year’s conference will bring together business leaders, nonprofits, elected officials, community organizations, and decision-makers for honest conversations about the opportunities and challenges facing rural communities — and how we can work together more effectively to support long-term success.
Conference highlights include:
The Rural Advantage is more than a conference — it’s the beginning of an ongoing initiative focused on helping rural businesses and communities become more connected, coordinated, adaptable, and prepared for whatever comes next.
The conversation continues beyond the conference through quarterly meetings in January, April, and July 2027 focused on collaboration, strategy, and shared community success.
