133rd Annual Meeting - Meet the Speaker 2

Join us for the Chamber’s largest event of the year, the 133rd Annual Meeting! Together, we will celebrate the resiliency of our community as we look ahead to 2021. We have learned a lot about ourselves, our teams, and our businesses over the past year. These individual stories come together to create a strong and resilient community.

133rd Annual Meeting - Meet the Speaker 1We are thrilled to welcome keynote speaker Josh Linkner for this live-streamed event. Josh Linkner – who started his career as a jazz guitarist – personifies creativity, entrepreneurship, and disruptive innovation. He has been the founder and CEO of five tech companies, which sold for a combined value of over $200 million. He has twice been named the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year and is a President Barack Obama Champion of Change award recipient.

Josh is also the author of four books, two New York Times Bestsellers: Disciplined Dreaming: A Proven System to Drive Breakthrough Creativity, and  The Road to Reinvention: How to Drive Disruption and Accelerate Transformation, as well as his latest book, Hacking Innovation. He is also the Founding Partner of Detroit Venture Partners, investing in and mentoring over 100 startups.

Josh’s presentation will be extremely engaging and hint at why Opportunity Awaits – especially in West Michigan, and why it is the best place to thrive in the new normal. You won’t want to miss it.
