Prepare for the Future Today

Join us April 20th for a look at the issues shaping the future of Milwaukee County. A growing megaregion, demographic shifts, artificial intelligence, and continued advancement in automation, will all take center stage as topics that will either advance or limit the growth of Milwaukee County over the next 30 years. Take advantage of this opportunity to step back from day-to-day challenges and get an understanding what it will take to propel your business forward in the coming decades.
