The Maryland Rural Summit is an annual gathering of rural leaders in the public, private and non-profit sectors who come together to discuss the major issues confronting rural and non-metropolitan communities. Summit sessions are designed to explore challenges and solutions while taking advantage of the experience and knowledge of all attendees. Lively discussion and interaction among participants and presenters is highly encouraged.

Each year, the Summit is held in a different part of rural Maryland in order to give annual participants a clear understanding of the diversity of rural Maryland which spans from the mountains of the Appalachians to the tidewaters of the Chesapeake Bay.

The Summit celebrated its tenth year in 2007
