Annual Conference 2021

This year, we’ve all lived through a shared, but unique, experience. What was yours like? How did broadband help or hinder – or motivate – you, or your community?

We know rural Minnesotans keenly felt how important a strong, reliable broadband connection is. When kids can’t go to school, adults can’t work, and families can’t access needed resources, our communities suffer. By working together, though, our communities can forge solutions. Countless rural Minnesota communities have shown the way. Your community can too!

In October, broadband champions in your region and across the state gathered for a 3-day virtual conference to hear what’s happening around the state — what is being accomplished, what is still needed, and how we can inspire each other to keep at it! Hosted by Blandin Foundation with support from the Minnesota Office of Broadband Development.
