The event will feature distinguished leaders in the field of workforce development and economic mobility including a keynote address from Walmart's Greg Foran, US President and CEO and Julie Gehrki, Vice President of Philanthropy, and closing remarks from Garlin Gilchrist, Lieutenant Governor of the State of Michigan.

The event will take place over dinner where participants will have opportunities to hear from speakers, engage in dialogue and discuss real world challenges on workforce development.
