Why you should be a part of the 2010 Mackinac Policy Conference.

I was able to connect with several community leaders and business professionals in ways that would not be possible in the normal day to day scenario. MPC provided me with the opportunity as a young professional to be introduced to individuals who are able to help mold my career. The fact that so many of the regions top executives, political figures and movers and shakers are all in one location makes for the best possible networking event."

- Ada Smith, Jas Events

"I would recommend it to any professional who aspires to be a leader in our community. It is the best way to quickly establish yourself as someone engaged in our business community and interested in being a part of its future."

- Matt Friedman
