Get Loud About Where You Live with Kiley Miller
Session Overview
“Get Loud About Where You Live.”
Across Iowa, small towns are doing amazing things. From downtown festivals to new housing, boutique stores to locavore restaurants, life here keeps getting better. But locals and outsiders alike won’t know unless YOU tell them.
Join us for an inspiring and practical session as we welcome Kiley Miller for a conversation on community storytelling and local pride. In his presentation, "Get Loud About Where You Live," Kiley will share why every community has a story worth telling and how residents, leaders, and advocates can become its best ambassadors. Through real-world examples and actionable insights, participants will leave with fresh ideas and renewed energy to celebrate, promote, and strengthen the places they call home.
