The Progress Paradigm simply extends that tradition forward. Progress is not a slogan\, it is the outcome of systems that are intentionally designed\, collaboratively maintained\, and continuously improved. Which is why Rockford’s defining principle may be its simplest one: \nRockford does not chase progress. Rockford engineers it. \nThe 2026 Rockford University Business Summit brings together regional leaders\, employers\, and innovators to explore the ideas\, strategies\, and partnerships\, shaping what comes next for our economy. This year’s focus is on “The Progress Paradigm” and will be held on Thursday\, June 11\, 2026. Join us from 7:45 am – 3:00 p.m. in the Burpee Student Center at Rockford University.
