RoleCall, an Iowa City-based talent attraction and community and economic development agency, will host its inaugural Talent Attraction Summit in Flint, Michigan.
The event, held June 11-14, will bring dozens of economic development, civic and community advocacy leaders together from 16 states, including Iowa.
The City of Flint and Genesee County were selected as the host community for the conference. Organized in partnership with Flint’s community organization committed to developing business, talent and place, the Flint & Genesee Group, it will converge in and around downtown Flint.
“This is a place that’s not only doing innovative work in the talent space, it’s a place that deserves a new narrative, and we want to help write its next chapter,” said RoleCall co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer Tim Carty. “Our goal is for every attendee to experience Flint’s energy, resurgence, and commitment to collaboration firsthand, and bring the lessons they learn here back to their communities.”
After an initial application process, dozens of economic development, civic and community advocacy leaders were selected to convene in Flint for an out-of-the-box approach to in-person business gatherings, comprising breakout sessions, a guided mural tour, a networking lunch, dinner and more.
Several representatives from the Iowa City Area Business Partnership and the Iowa City Area Development Group (ICAD) will be in attendance.
“We are so excited to be hosting the inaugural Talent Attraction Summit in Flint,” said RoleCall co-founder and Chief Creative Officer Winona Dimeo-Ediger. “When we were first dreaming of bringing together leaders and visionaries from around the country to talk about the future of talent attraction, we knew Flint would be the perfect place to convene, connect, and learn.”
