Realize Your Remarkable Impact

How will you leave your mark?

If there’s one thing that can be said about recent events, it’s that they have been remarkable. Companies, communities, and individuals have stepped up, leaving their mark on history that will be remembered for generations to come.

Great leaders know our remarkable journey doesn’t stop here!

Back and better than ever, Southwest Michigan First is excited to announce that Catalyst University is on our agenda—and should be on yours too!

Imagine: world-class speakers, career-advancing connections and unforgettable experiences all combined in an action-packed day. This year’s conference is designed to spark fresh ideas that energize.

Over the past 11 years, Catalyst University has built up 13,000 existing and emerging leaders – from all sectors – to carry our organizations and community into the future. And this year will be no different. The team at Southwest Michigan First is thoughtfully curating a speaker lineup that will ignite a spirit of change and empower attendees to take their personal, corporate and community destiny to new heights.

Prepare yourself for a remarkable day as Catalyst University heads back to the Radisson, back to in-person, and back to winter, hosted on January 26 or January 27, 2022.
