2025 Michigan Sustainability Conference
Join EGLE as we host the 2025 Michigan Sustainability Conference (MISCON) on November 6-7, 2025, in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
MISCON is Michigan’s one-of-a-kind event designed for sustainability business professionals, sustainability community professionals, environmental staff, EHS staff, and community leaders to:
- Learn new tactics about efficient ways to map out next steps in your sustainability journey.
- Understand how leading brands and communities are successfully embedding environmental and social purpose into their values.
- Discover grant funding opportunities.
- Find inspiration and peer support by meeting fellow change agents.
- Discover best practices through peer-to-peer learning sessions.
- Network with local leaders who are looking to form partnerships.
This year’s conference sessions will include general sustainability topic themes and those that highlight Food Waste Reduction and Diversion, such as composting, food rescue, food waste source reduction, food upcycling, food waste reduction technology, and food waste education.
Post-Conference Catalyst Communities Workshop
November 7, 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM (includes lunch)
EGLE's Catalyst Communities program will hold a workshop specifically for Michigan's local government leaders (elected and appointed officials, and staff) on Friday, November 7, immediately following the Michigan Sustainability Conference (MISCON).
All local government staff, elected officials, and appointed officials are invited to the Catalyst Communities post-conference workshop to celebrate successes, share challenges, and deepen connections within the community of local government sustainability practitioners.
In keeping with the conference themes of Food Waste Reduction and Sustainability, we want to hear from you about your most pressing sustainability needs and challenges and more importantly we want to celebrate all that you’ve accomplished. Join your colleagues as we reflect on the accomplishments, create space for community building, and come together to envision the future for the local government sustainability community.
Participation is limited to those directly associated with local governments (local government staff, elected officials, and appointed officials). Consultants that are not currently expressly working on behalf of a local government on this specific issue need not attend.
For special accommodations, please contact Joel Roseberry at RoseberryJ@michigan.gov by October 17, 2025.
