Year-round community calendar

Learn, connect and contribute every month.

A predictable calendar makes it easier for attendees, speakers, students, employers, universities and sponsors to participate. Our working rhythm is the second Saturday of each month, with a mix of virtual learning and selected in-person programs across Southeast Michigan.
