Rooted in local ownership and shared decision-making, co-ops are resilient and uniquely designed to weather challenging times. This year’s Minnesota Cooperative Summit will explore how cooperatives are truly built for this moment, leading with innovation, collaboration and a deep commitment to long-term solutions that support prosperity for all.

Building on the success of the first, sold-out summit, you’re invited to The College of St. Scholastica for an even bigger and better event. You’ll connect with changemakers, learn from peers, and discover how the cooperative model is strengthening communities across our state. Together, we will explore what’s next for Minnesota co-ops as we address economic and social challenges and shape a stronger, more inclusive future.

At the Minnesota Cooperative Summit, you’ll:

• Learn about the power and versatility of the cooperative model
• Engage in Minnesota’s rich history of cooperation to do better together
• Gain inspiration from stories of cooperative success across Minnesota
• Learn how to foster resilience and opportunity in communities
• Connect with a diverse group of people who believe in working together for lasting change

This event welcomes current cooperatives and cooperators exploring collaboration but is designed to inspire those newer to cooperatives who could learn about and incorporate cooperative strategies to meet the economic and social needs of our state in the years to come.
