The Iowa Rural Summit celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2026, and this year we're stepping into our second decade with a fabulous venue on the banks of the Missippi River and a theme -- RISE (Rural Innovations Solutions Empowerment) -- that underscores the power of rural.
This must-attend event brings together community leaders, economic development professionals, business owners, and rural advocates to share ideas, celebrate successes, and find new ways to strengthen Iowa’s rural communities.
Join us for two days of inspiring plenaries, dynamic breakout sessions, roundtable discussions, and unparalleled networking opportunities. Together, we'll explore innovative strategies for building connections, fostering collaboration, and driving growth in rural Iowa.
