ABOUT

When was the last time you thought about West Michigan?
...to live? ...to work? ...maybe it's time.

If you're coming back to West Michigan for the Thanksgiving holiday, there's one event you can't miss. On Thanksgiving eve, several area companies and non-profit organizations are coming together to convince you that it's time to take another look at your hometown. 

ReThink West Michigan is a casual, professional networking event. At this event, several West Michigan companies, with current career opportunities, will share some of the exciting initiatives and projects happening in the region.

The Right Place, Inc. and Hello West Michigan established ReThink West Michigan in Grand Rapids in 2012. It has become our signature event every Thanksgiving eve welcoming hundreds of former Michiganders home for the holiday.

Events are held in multiple locations, including Hastings, Grand Rapids, Ludington, Muskegon County, Saugatuck and Fremont. This exciting expansion of the event is made possible by our premier sponsor Pure Michigan Talent Connect, and regional collaborators hosting individual event sites:

​​

• Fremont: The Right Place, Inc
