Rural Policy Forum: Managing Events

Managing Events:

Cyber Cafe: MRP works with event organizers to set-up and staff a bank of computers with broadband Internet access at the event; a Cyber Cafe. Minnesota Rural Partners works with event organizers to build awareness among event participants and direct them to the Cyber Café and the online survey. MRP provides preliminary survey results by the end of the event and can present them to conference organizers and/or participants.

Follow-up and Reporting: Minnesota Rural Partners compiles the Survey results and creates formal reports including graphical illustrations and formatting for different audiences (event participants, general population, media, and local, state and national decision-makers). The results are made available in electronic formats to all audiences and placed on the event-specific web page integrated with the ruralpolicyforum.org site.
