Canada’s top rural innovation event is back—and bigger than ever! ICED Rural 2025 takes place September 23–24 at Affinity Place in Estevan, marking the third year of this groundbreaking conference that’s quickly become the go-to gathering for rural changemakers. With a bold new focus on energy and education, ICED 2025 aims to tackle the real-world challenges rural communities face and explore transformative opportunities.
New this year, attendees can look forward to the Rural Innovation Exhibit Showcase, an open Pitch Competition for rural Saskatchewan innovators, and expanded programming through a continued partnership with the Saskatchewan Indigenous Economic Development Network.
