The 2026 annual Institute The Rural,” scheduled for June 2026, will be a hybrid event. We will be hosted at the University of Wisconsin-Stout in Menomonie, Wisconsin. For the convenience of those unable to participate in person, we are offering both real-time and on-demand virtual alternatives. Attendees of The Rural can earn 2.4 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) through their participation in the in-person event. Additionally, they have the opportunity to access recorded content at their convenience.

2026 registration is OPEN!
