About
Formerly known as Mid-Michigan Suppliers & Hire Diversity Summit, The Mid-Michigan Diversity Business Summit presented by PNC is being rescheduled to Tuesday, October 17th 2023 at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center.
Through diversification and inclusion initiatives, hear from experts on innovative approaches and best practices to improve economic diversity in the region and make the job markets and workplaces more representative of the communities they serve. Statistics show that companies who embrace diversity and belonging in their workplace and supply chain are more profitable than companies who don't. When businesses build capacity being diverse, they are able to grow revenue, jobs and, as a result, communities thrive.
Leaders will share invaluable and innovative insights & growth opportunities for local, small, medium businesses, entrepreneurs and corporations. Attendees will leave the summit with NEW tools and a pattern for growth. The summit will offer B2B networking opportunities & a job fair with corporate professionals, small business owners and job seekers.
We look forward to seeing you at the Mid-Michigan Diversity Business Summit.
