Inter-City Visit 2026 Grand Rapids, Michigan

Durham Chamber Inter-City Visit 2026 Grand Rapids, Michigan Tuesday, September 29 through Friday, October 2, 2026 Join the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce as we bring together up to 100 leaders from business, government, nonprofit, and education sectors across Durham and the Triangle for one of the most impactful leadership experiences of the year. Each year, the Inter-City Visit gives us the opportunity to learn from a peer community, strengthen relationships with one another, and return home with fresh ideas to help move Durham forward. This year, we are headed to Grand Rapids, Michigan a city with many similarities to Durham, including rapid growth, a strong entrepreneurial spirit, thriving healthcare and innovation sectors, and a commitment to building an inclusive and connected community. Throughout the visit, attendees will engage in conversations around: Learning Objectives: We’ll explore how over $359 million in public-private partnerships in the past two years has catalyzed economic and community development through transformative projects like the Acrisure Amphitheater, Amway Soccer Stadium, and the Grand Rapids Riverfront Redevelopment project. We’ll learn how Grand Rapids has leveraged signature events like ArtPrize, which attracts more than 800,000 visitors each year, and placemaking initiatives such as the Medical Mile to build a distinctive and vibrant community identity. We’ll hear how Grand Rapids Public Schools built strong partnerships with universities to develop its educator pipeline and collaborated with the Chamber of Commerce to expand career pathways for students. We'll meet with the leaders working to lower barriers for infill housing development with permit ready plans and expand access to affordable housing through the county's revolving loan fund and the city's affordable housing fund The Inter-City Visit is more than a trip. It is an investment in Durham’s future and in the relationships that help shape it.
