Get energized, engage in productive connections, and emerge from MGA’s 2008 fall conference with ideas, solutions and a renewed passion for business.  MGA will provide the substance and the setting.

Set amidst forested hills, sparkling lakes and flowing rivers, for over 50 years, Crystal Mountain has been the kind of place where families and friends have gathered for an unforgettable northern Michigan experience.  The four-season resort’s growth since MGA’s 2005 conference is consistent with its blueprint for thoughtful, steady development…to preserve and enhance the kind of northern Michigan place for which people yearn.

“We are taking careful measures to incorporate elements of the character and history of northern Michigan, such as the smaller scale and simplicity of form, in order to fit into this up-north environment,” said Chris MacInnes, president of the resort’s development company. 

Located between Manistee and Traverse City, award-winning Crystal Mountain also offers the amenities and services valued by conference attendees – outstanding meeting facilities, beautiful accommodations, on-site hiking and biking, championship golf, and unmatched regional recreation, dining, and shopping.

The 2008 conference golf outing, MGA’s Fall Golf Classic will be played on Tuesday, Sept. 16 at the renowned Arcadia Bluffs Golf Club, host of our successful event in ’03.  Arcadia Bluffs is consistently rated one of the finest courses anywhere and was rated #10 in America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses by Golf Digest for 2007-08.

Whatever your role in the Michigan food industry, the 2008 MGA food business conference is a can’t-miss event.  Renew friendships, recharge your batteries, and rediscover MGA at Crystal Mountain Resort, Sept. 14-16.
