Registration is open for the 8th annual Iowa Rural Development Summit, scheduled on April 11-12 at the Gateway Hotel & Conference Center in Ames.

As in past years, rural communities are being asked to bring a three-person team to the Summit. This three-person team approach has helped generate post-Summit momentum in previous years for those places that were represented. Three-person community teams can register online at a special, discounted rate. Interested individuals can also register online.

The Summit is sponsored by the Iowa Rural Development Council (IRDC), a public-private statewide non-profit that works to support small towns addressing issues such as housing, broadband access, business development, and leadership.

To register or learn more about the Summit, visit the Iowa Rural Development Council's website.
