The Detroit Regional Chamber, which organizes the Mackinac Policy Conference every year, said this week is an opportunity for face-to-face conversations about making Michigan even better.
“People are together and they’re connecting and they’ve developing really policies and ideas and talking about Michigan’s future,” said Glenn Stevens Jr., the Chief Automotive Officer for the Detroit Regional Chamber.
Keynote speakers, panel discussions and even debates are held inside the Grand Hotel.
“A very diverse group of people, we want all different stakeholders of communities and citizens, but then there are panels, and they’re very specific discussions like data centers, like the state of education, things like that, and it’s healthy discourse,” he said.
