A New Leadership Era

The Detroit Region is on the cusp of major leadership transitions as it charts its path forward through uncertain times. This moment calls for bold, adaptive leaders who can unite across sectors to tackle the Region’s most pressing challenges.

The 2026 Detroit Policy Conference convened business leaders, government officials, and community changemakers to drive meaningful conversations and actionable solutions for a more prosperous and equitable Detroit Region.

Held in the heart of Downtown Detroit at The Department at Hudson’s, the Conference explored the leadership transitions underway and on the horizon for the Region and state and featured the bold, adaptive leaders at the helm.
