How can we shape the future of rural economies in the AI era?

SEEC is always looking to bring national best practices home to Schoharie County. On September 10, SEEC joined fellow changemakers, economic leaders, and innovators at the Accelerating What’s Possible: 2025 CORI Conference at MASS MoCA in North Adams, MA.

The sold-out event, hosted by the Center on Rural Innovation (CORI), centered on the transformative impact of AI in rural economies, and how communities like ours can prepare, adapt, and lead.

As we continue shaping a resilient, tech-forward future for Schoharie County, events like these help SEEC stay grounded in local values — and plugged into the tools, talent, and trends reshaping rural America.

“AI presents rural communities an opportunity of a lifetime.” — Matt Dunne CORI Founder & CEO
