The Michigan charter school movement is comprised of diverse leaders, innovators and pioneers. The Michigan Charter School Symposium provides a platform to discover and network with the brightest minds in public education reform, featuring dynamic speakers, engaging sessions and a fearless atmosphere located at the Detroit Marriott Troy in Troy, MI on December 9 & 10, 2026.
We are currently seeking proposals for breakout sessions that will motivate, inspire and empower public charter school leadership from all over Michigan. Breakout sessions are scheduled for 75 minutes in length, which includes an introduction and Q&A period at the end of the presentation. We are seeking thoughtful and engaging proposals for sessions on the topics most critical to charter schools that have clear learning outcomes, present advanced-level content (most attendees are veterans), engage the expertise in the audience, and address a theme from our six focus areas.
