Raising Up Rural Symposium

The 2026 Raising Up Rural Symposium is an exclusive one-day event bringing together leaders and changemakers who are committed to strengthening Rural Texas.

The day features inspiring speakers, meaningful discussions, networking opportunities, and collaborative learning designed to spark new ideas and build lasting partnerships. From morning coffee and networking to an afternoon of engaging presentations and an optional evening mix-and-mingle, attendees will have multiple opportunities to connect with others who share a passion for rural communities.

Limited to 40 participants, the symposium offers an intimate setting that encourages authentic conversations and valuable connections. Whether you're looking to strengthen your community, grow partnerships, or better understand the opportunities and challenges facing Rural Texas, you'll leave with fresh perspectives, practical insights, and relationships that extend beyond the event.

Join us in Austin for a day of collaboration, innovation, and leadership dedicated to the future of Rural Texas.
