Our 2026 calendar includes a dynamic lineup of conferences, workshops, and networking events that will engage hundreds of economic development professionals from across the state.

Why Partner with MEDA?

  • Impact: Support initiatives that drive innovation, workforce development, and community revitalization.
  • Networking: Connect with leaders from public, private, and nonprofit sectors who are shaping Michigan’s future.

As you will see in the Investor Prospectus at https://www.medaweb.org/sponsor/, MEDA offers a variety of sponsorship packages designed to meet your organization’s goals, whether you’re looking to sponsor a single event or support MEDA throughout the year.
