Each year, Rural TeleCon regularly attracts several hundred people from economic and community development, higher education, public safety and healthcare, along with local, regional, state, and federal government officials, telecommunications industry personnel, and nationally recognized telecommunication policy leaders. The Rural TeleCon conference provides attendees the opportunity to share their strong commitment to collaborative activities with other attendees while at the conference, allowing them to find new ways to resolve complex issues, including business and technical decisions.
