Join the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) for Michigan’s one-of-a-kind event designed for sustainability business professionals, sustainability community professionals, environmental staff, EHS (environmental, health, and safety) staff, and community leaders to: 

• Learn new tactics about efficient ways to map out next steps in your sustainability journey. 
• Understand how leading brands and communities are successfully embedding environmental and social purpose into their values. 
• Discover grant funding opportunities. 
• Find inspiration and peer support by meeting fellow change agents. 
• Discover best practices through peer-to-peer learning sessions. 
• Network with local leaders who are looking to form partnerships.

This year’s conference sessions will include general sustainability topic themes and those that highlight Food Waste Reduction and Diversion, such as composting, food rescue, food waste source reduction, food upcycling, food waste reduction technology, and food waste education. The conference will provide up to seven continuing education hours (CEH)/Professional Development Hours (PDH).

Whether you are joining us as a community leader or a business leader, you’ll walk away with the network of partners, the practical tools, and the creative fuel you need to keep on course with this rapidly evolving era. 

We are also offering a Post-Conference Catalyst Communities Walking Tour and Workshop on November 7 from 12:00 - 4:00 p.m. This event is specifically for Michigan's local government leaders (elected and appointed officials, and staff) to celebrate successes, share challenges, and deepen connections within the community of local government sustainability practitioners. The post-conference workshop provides up to 2 CEHs/PDHs.
