Join your rural economic development peers in Nashville to “Kick Up” your skills, knowledge and networking for success!

We are putting together a great slate of learning opportunities and dynamic speakers for this year’s conference. In addition to the always popular site selection panel, we will tackle new challenges and opportunities facing rural developers and their communities including crisis communications, policies and geopolitics, cyber security, applying AI, next generation board development/leadership, future utility needs and issues (e.g. grid security, generation, politics). That’s not all! Our mobile classrooms will have opportunities for every interest, from manufacturing to downtown development to entrepreneurship.

And, it’s Nashville!! What better place to network with your peers while taking in some great sights and music!

See you in Nashville!
