Purpose Summit 2020 Detroit of Mount Clemens’ PurposePoint, which is set to take place May 12-13 in downtown Mount Clemens, has announced more than 20 speakers including national, business, thought, and community leaders that will discuss purpose in the workplace and the future of work.
The inaugural summit is expected to attract several hundred people and will include keynotes at the Emerald Theatre, breakout sessions at the Oakland University Macomb Center, lunch at participating restaurants, a sponsor cocktail and connections reception at the Anton Art Center, and more.

The Purpose Summit was designed to address this shift, helping both organizations and talent find their way forward.”
