***IMPORTANT UPDATE: Michigan Food & Agriculture Summit postponed***
As the situation around COVID-19 (coronavirus) continues to evolve, we are approaching all of our operations – including events – with public health and safety as our priority and in accordance with Michigan Department of Health and Human Services recommendations. With this in mind, and in addition to the withdrawal of many of our key participants, we have decided to postpone the Michigan Food & Ag Summit, originally planned for this Tuesday, March 17 in Lansing. We apologize for any inconvenience and will reach out with additional communications as we learn more and evaluate the possibility of rescheduling the Food & Ag Summit, as well as other PMBC summits and events currently scheduled.
