NextGen ND is an exciting opportunity for you to give your voice, insights, and vision to the energy and agricultural leaders in our state. High-level decision makers from three organizations—the North Dakota Petroleum Council, the North Dakota Farm Bureau, and the Lignite Energy Council—want to hear what you have to say.

Your participation means you have the chance to shape the future of energy and agriculture for years to come. You’ll even get the chance to take tours of mines, power plants, oil rigs, and farms, if desired.
