Our Events

The Michigan Good Business Summit

Our third annual Michigan Good Business Summit takes place on June 25. This year’s summit will bring together local business leaders and thought partners to explore social and environmental impact through business, civic engagement, and operations-driven growth strategies. The Michigan Good Business Summit builds on our annual convening, reimagined to reflect the evolving role of small businesses in creating impact. Together, we’ll share practical insights and real-world strategies for building responsible, profitable companies that create lasting impact in Michigan’s communities.

Fork Fest

Fork Fest 2026 will celebrate everyone involved in the local food economy. Our goal is to bring on a diverse range of food vendors (food trucks, restaurant partners, bakers, etc.) as well as partners committed to building an economy that puts people first grounded in localism.

Lasting Connections

Our events are centered on localism. It’s apparent through our community members and the vendors we bring on.
