THANK YOU FOR
ATTENDING OUR virtual Live Wide Open Summit
A Full Week of Virtual Lunchtime Learning
September 14 – 18, 2020
We were virtually inspired
In March 2020, we were ready to launch a great small town gathering – the photo above gives you an idea! – with over two dozen speakers to help bring conversations to rural areas on topics such as rural healthcare, small town growth, welcoming communities, supporting arts, agriculture possibilities and more.
We all know what happened.
So we went virtual and created a week-long, noon-hour learning experience, and featured five topics with amazing speakers who shared tips, techniques and food for thought – pun intended!
Watch for uture speakers who will share ways to grow your community, to be welcoming and creative, and how to face changes in our world.
