The PATHWAYS Community Development Conference 2025, themed “Future Forward,” is a one-day gathering dedicated to reimagining what community development can and will look like in the years ahead. Grounded in the belief that today’s challenges require tomorrow’s thinking, this year’s conference invites practitioners, organizers, and leaders to explore bold ideas, new models, and innovative tools that shape more thriving, just, and connected communities. Through inspiring talks, strategic sessions, and meaningful dialogue, the goal is to equip attendees with forward-looking strategies and collaborative energy to build the future of Detroit—and beyond—together.
