Join People First Economy, B Local Michigan, Kalsec, Southwest Michigan First, and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, as we gather business owners, entrepreneurs, visionaries, and organizers from across the state of Michigan to honor a purpose-driven economy that puts people first. The business community in Michigan has shown incredible resilience throughout the last several years – pandemic, recessions, inflation, and social unrest have compounded the cost and complexity of doing business, and some Michigan companies are dedicated to using their business as a force for good.

People First Economy and our partners will curate meaningful educational, inspiring, and energizing discussions and workshops designed to bring purpose-driven leaders from all sectors together. The purpose of this summit is to create collaborative solutions and share ideas on the challenges facing Michigan businesses.
