What is the MLC Annual Conference?
The MLC Annual Conference is our flagship in-person gathering, bringing Lean and continuous improvement professionals from across Michigan together for a full day of learning, connection, and shared practice. It combines keynote presentations, practitioner-led breakout sessions, and dedicated networking time, offering a platform to dive deep into Lean tools, hear real-world case studies, and connect face-to-face with peers navigating similar challenges.
- Opportunity to connect with Lean practitioners from automotive, healthcare, higher education, manufacturing, and public sector organizations across Michigan.
- Attendees can engage directly with keynote speakers and breakout session leaders, ask questions, and participate in discussions throughout the day.
- A full day of programming combining big-picture keynotes with hands-on, practitioner-led breakout sessions.
