The 16th Annual Michigan Charter School Conference
November 4 & 5, 2013 - Detroit's Cobo Hall

2013  Conference - NEW Agenda
Monday: Leadership
Based on feedback from attendees and other stakeholders, we are now offering a unique opportunity for all leadership from around the state within the charter sector to come together to engage and network on best practices. Monday will now be open to charter leadership from school leaders, management companies, authorizers, board members, business managers and even aspiring school leaders. The collaborative environment that 16th Annual Michigan Charter School Conference offers will provide these key individuals access to two high-quality keynotes along with dedicated networking time. As you can see in the schedule below, the exhibit hall will not be open on Monday for leaders. Instead, there will be time to network and meet with our Marketplace Providers throughout conference. The VIP reception will take place directly following the conference right at COBO. The VIP Reception will not just be for member schools, but for everyone attending Monday's conference!
