The 2025 Mackinac Policy Conference centered on "Michigan’s Equation for Impact," explores how vision, strategy and practical tools meet action to make an impact that ensures our continued progress. 

Michigan will thrive when we define a clear vision for a better future for our people, businesses, and the environment. Michigan will grow when we invest in tools, technologies, and infrastructure. Michigan will prosper when partnerships are built that overcome barriers and drive meaningful action.

Smart policies must focus on attracting, retaining, and developing talent. Talent is the catalyst in Michigan’s equation for impact. Talent will ensure our competitiveness into the next decade and beyond.
