After an application process, dozens of community advocacy leaders and organizations from 16 states were selected to convene in Flint for an innovative approach to in-person business meetings.
The meetings will take place a various locations downtown, including brainstorming sessions at the Hilton Garden Inn Flint Downtown and the Durant-Dort Factory One, a networking lunch at the Flint Farmers’ Market, a class at Drinks of Essence Bartending School, dinner at the Flint Institute of Arts, and more. Those in attendance will also receive a guided mural tour of downtown Flint.

Brianna Mosier, Director of Organizational Development at the
Flint & Genesee Group.
“Just as we’re doing with our newly launched
‘Make Your Move in Flint & Genesee’ talent attraction initiative, the summit is a great opportunity to showcase the area in a way that might be surprising to people who aren’t from here or just don’t realize how special it is.”
Prioritizing connection over content, the summit is expected to generate tens of thousands of dollars in economic activity for the regional Flint economy.
