NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

Join us for real, leading-edge conversations about how to close the racial wealth gap and create systems for identifying, fostering, and supporting entrepreneurs and business leaders of color.

Over two days, we’ll share the tools, insights, and innovations that mission-aligned businesses, social entrepreneurs, and impact investors are using to drive change. Through a curated mix of panel discussions, fireside chats, networking sessions, and receptions, we’ll cut through the noise and have honest, unfiltered conversations.

Most importantly: We need you. In order to do this right, we need your ideas, expertise, creativity, and experience — and we need it there in the room. Let’s build an ecosystem where we listen and learn how to create opportunities for equity for those working and innovating in the social-impact universe. Let’s grow and build solutions together.
