Be inspired by Peter Kenyon’s keynote session, “Building Community & Business Prosperity through Storytelling and the Experience Economy”.

Rural communities are rich with stories, character, creativity and potential! On Tuesday, March 31, those strengths take centre stage at the virtual Teeny Tiny Summit, featuring internationally renowned community-builder, Peter Kenyon.

When: Tuesday, March 31 from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Through examples, practical insights and energizing ideas, Peter will highlight how rural communities and small businesses can create memorable “wow factor” experiences that set them apart.

This event also kicks off our series of in‑person Teeny Tiny Summits coming later in 2026, where we’ll dive into this year’s theme: “The Power of Community—Building Hope in Uncertain Times”.
