Rural Summit 2022: Building a Stronger Tomorrow

Each spring, the Rural Summit brings hundreds of rural champions together to learn about the issues affecting our rural communities and explore what we can do together to make a difference. This event has evolved over the past few years, combining the Rural Assembly event and Rural Day so that NC Rural Center can provide consistent resources to the communities it serves.

The 2022 Rural Summit will offer keynotes and breakouts with insights from local and national leaders in rural economic development; peer-to-peer connections; ane new knowledge and tools to inspire and innovate in your community.

Around the event theme of Building a Stronger Tomorrow: The world around us is changing rapidly, and the stakes are high to ensure that our rural leaders have access to and are equipped with the tools and resources to work towards resiliency for the future. 

  • How can we use what we’ve lived through over the last few years to think differently about the future? 
  • How do we lean into our similarities and differences to work together towards an innovative and resilient future?
