Back to Agenda

This session is designed to stimulate strategic thinking and action between local, state, and federal governments, organizations, companies, communities, and individuals to connect, collaborate, and commit to a plan of innovative thinking which will keep or put their residents on the road to the top of the global need chain.  The session will describe who, what, when, why and how Rural Americans can combine their individual goals and efforts together with others seeking the same common good and secure their future and the future of their people, instead of waiting for the inevitable "plug" to be pulled when the entire town becomes a ghost town and where the youth never return once they pass the city limit sign.

SlingShot Wireless will illustrate the recent collaboration efforts and implementations for very rural America located in the southernmost part of Illinois which now allows a rural farmer in Cairo, IL the ability to conduct business with a farmer in Cairo, Egypt.
