Dear Everyone, 

Here at Midwest Power Shift planning ground-zero, we're excited to finally roll out the long-awaited agenda that actually breaks it all down! We know the Midwest is takin' over the world, but y'all are probably wondering exactly what that game plan looks like once we're all in Cleveland. SO, take a minute and scope the full list of sessions here and read the descriptions- it'll blow your mind, I promise! (AND we're still rolling out more, so check back for updates!)

In the meantime, I wanted to share a handful of sessions loaded with the best kind of Midwest flavor that I'm super excited for, and can't wait to see y'all at.
