Goal
A network of creative clusters in rural communities across New Mexico for the purpose of economic development using collaboration and technology innovations developed during the pandemic to connect these communities. 

What is rural? The greater number of people living in rural parts of New Mexico (1.2 million people in New Mexico live in rural areas and only 900,000 people are in the metro area).

Conference Goals: 


A collective voice to pursue larger regional funding for uplifting regions of the state outside the metro area and increasing training and job opportunities for rural communities.


Met the unmet needs of the New Mexico film and media industry that are outsourced.


Support the existing metro film and media industry.


Create an ongoing conversation with rural communities with the intent to generate new ideas and opportunities for economic growth and future collaboration.
