What is the Faith & Enterprise Expo?
The first event of its kind in Michigan.
The inaugural Faith & Enterprise Expo is more than just an event. It’s a space for Muslim entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals to connect, learn, and be inspired by real stories and guidance.
Spend the day with people who’ve built meaningful work and faced the challenges of entrepreneurship head-on. Through engaging talks and a curated Business Expo, you’ll walk away with ideas, tools, and new connections to support your next steps.
Whether you’re launching a new idea, growing your business, or simply exploring what’s possible, this is your space to grow alongside others who understand the journey.
You don’t have to figure it all out alone.
