Please join Bridge Michigan at the inaugural Issues Summit. The half-day, statewide convening will bring together residents, civic leaders, policymakers and subject-matter experts for in-depth, journalist-led conversations about the issues shaping Michigan’s future.

Panels will draw from Bridge Michigan’s yearlong reporting initiative, Bridge Listens, and will be moderated by Bridge Michigan reporters, diving deep into top reporting areas. Topics will include health, education, the environment and the economy/affordability.

Veteran Detroit broadcast journalist Devin Scillian will be the event’s emcee. Pulitzer Prize winner Stephen Henderson will moderate discussions on the Michigan gubernatorial and Senate races. Panelists will include top minds from throughout the state.

The Summit takes place Oct. 21 at Marygrove Conservancy in Detroit, with free in-person and virtual attendance options. Check-in opens at noon, followed by the program from 1-5:30 p.m. and a happy hour and networking reception from 5:30-6:30 p.m.

In-person seats are gone, but there’s still plenty of room to watch virtually. Register for the free livestream here. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bridge-michigan-issues-summit-tickets-1992789643468?aff=oddtdtcreator
