2023 Equity Forum Events

About the Events

We are excited to host this year’s equity forum in person at the Corner Ballpark! Join us for a deep discussion that will explore a vision for a thriving and resilient Detroit through connections and conversations. We will bring together local and national experts to engage in dialogue that will highlight intersections between sustainability, economic equity, and community & economic development.

Added to this years’ event, we are excited to host our first ever pre-event reception which aims to celebrate DFC’s work to advance initiatives that grow the number of resilient, thriving neighborhoods and disrupt systemic racism, poverty, and other inequities to grow household income and wealth for Black Detroiters and other Detroiters of color. This intimate, ticketed pre-event reception will take place the night before DFC’s annual equity forum event.
