Description
2024 Annual Economic Summit
Registration is now closed. You may purchase individual tickets for opening seating at the door using a credit card only.
Each fall, Traverse Connect presents the Annual Economic Summit to highlight trends, speak to issues affecting the economy, and garner wisdom from economic experts to look ahead at the emerging business climate.This year, the conversation will be focused on economic milestones and the outlook for our region as we reach the half-way point on our 10-year 2030 goals for economic development. We are excited to expand this day to include networking, economic outlook discussions, and business showcase.
Quick Connect & Showcase Tables:
(9:30 AM - 11:00 AM)
Start the day connecting and networking with businesses across the Grand Traverse region! Quick Connect is incorporating intentional B2B networking, encouraging movement over the course of two hours. Make new connections with business and community leaders to help build your network. This event is free to attend with the purchase of an Economic Outlook Luncheon ticket.
We have a Business Showcase in the exhibition hall leading into the Economic Outlook Luncheon. Open exclusively to Economic Outlook Summit attendees, the Business Showcase will highlight 20 businesses. The Business Showcase will be a great opportunity for businesses within the Grand Traverse Region to highlight who they are and what they do. Booths for the Business Showcase are open to Traverse Connect Investors/Members only for $500.
The showcase includes one six-foot table with black drape, two chairs, and two tickets to attend our Economic Outlook Luncheon. Please note, these tickets may not be applied to a table purchase.
Economic Outlook Luncheon:
(11:45 AM - 1:30 PM)
Our traditional longstanding program is back by popular demand, bigger and better than ever! We are very excited to welcome Jeff Guilfoyle, Chief Deputy Treasurer with the Michigan Department of Treasury, to provide economic insight from a national and state level.
We will also have a panel discussion to focus more specifically on the Grand Traverse region, featuring panelists from Hagerty, Interlochen Center for the Arts and Rehmann, as well as a fireside chat featuring Garrick Rochow, President & Chief Executive Officer of CMS Corporation and Consumers Energy.
Traverse Connect investors/members can purchase reserved tables of eight for $500 or individual tickets for $55 each. Non-investors/members can purchase individual tickets for $75.
We are also honored to have Fifth Third Bank back as our Presenting Sponsor for the luncheon.
