About this Event

Join us for the inaugural Rural Planning Symposium, a one-day conference bringing together community developers, rural advocates, and champions from across North Dakota. This unique event will focus on strategies and insights for fostering strong, vibrant rural communities with the theme, “Community Planning; Community Building; Community Realized.” Featuring sessions with leading experts in rural community development and planning, as well as representatives from key state agencies, the symposium will explore actionable approaches for transforming community vision into reality.

The event kicks off the night before with an Opening Social—an exclusive opportunity to connect with state legislators and network with other participants. Throughout the symposium, attendees can engage in meaningful discussions, share knowledge, and forge valuable connections, all aimed at empowering rural North Dakota communities to thrive. Don’t miss this chance to collaborate, learn, and inspire the next era of rural development. Please specify when registering if you will be attending the opening social.


Strategic objectives / projected outcomes:

  • Facilitate Knowledge Sharing: Provide a platform for rural community leaders, developers, and advocates to share insights, best practices, and innovative approaches to community planning and development.
  • Strengthen Partnerships: Foster collaboration between rural communities, state agencies, and stakeholders to create robust support networks that drive sustainable growth.
  • Empower Local Leadership: Equip rural leaders with actionable strategies, tools, and resources to advance their community's unique goals and overcome challenges.
  • Promote Legislative Engagement: Connect community advocates with legislators to encourage dialogue and advocate for policies that support rural prosperity across North Dakota.
