Updated: June 14, 2024: Thank you for attending the 2022 Midwest Asset Building Conference in Saint Paul and via Zoom! Session recordings will be available in the coming weeks. In the closing session, we shared the possibility of hosting a Midwest Convergence as a next step to setting a bold asset building agenda for the Midwest between now and the next conference in 2025. Stay tuned!

The Midwest Asset Building Conference brings practitioners, policy advocates, and researchers together to strengthen our collective work to disrupt the racial wealth divide and help families build prosperity in the Midwest. We are happy to welcome you to Saint Paul near Bdote in Wicahpi Oyate, the Star Nation, of the Dakota people, in Mni Sota Makoce.

Stakeholders in the region will have the opportunity to learn from their peers when we connect at the third Midwest Asset Building Conference in Saint Paul, Minnesota, from June 29-30, 2022. The conference will center on the theme, “Imagining the Next Economy: Disrupting the Racial Wealth Divide,” attuned to the fact that our current economy rests on racialized and gendered exploitation and extraction. The conference will be in-person (with COVID protocols in place) and a paid livestreamed virtual event.

Previous conferences were hosted in Indianapolis in 2017 and Detroit in 2019.
