Technology Showcase:

AscendRural is inviting eligible technology companies and technology-enabled organizations to apply for a limited number of participation opportunities in the Technology Showcase at the AscendRural National Summit. The showcase is designed to help rural leaders, healthcare providers, educators, policymakers, funders, and community organizations experience practical solutions that can support rural health and wellbeing. Selected participants will have the opportunity to demonstrate their work, learn from rural partners, build relationships, and gain visibility with an audience focused on rural innovation and implementation.

What we are looking for:

Innovative models and implementations that are improving rural well-being, and that another community or state could pick up and learn from. This is not a call for polished success stories. It is a call for real work you can speak to in detail.

Innovation Gallery

There is remarkable work happening in rural communities, and The Innovation Gallery is a place to show it.

On Day 1 of the AscendRural Summit, nonprofits, government agencies, and educational institutions are invited to apply to share innovative rural delivery models that are making a difference, in a curated gallery of posters that stays up for the full summit. There is no cost to exhibit and selected organizations will get free admission to the rest of the event.
