No, non-members cannot attend. Capitol Day is an exclusive event for Michigan Retailers Association members. If you’re not a member yet, you can join online today for as little as $130.

Membership grants you access to events like this, along with an impressive lineup of cost-saving business services like merchant processing, group insurance programs, workers’ compensation insurance, shipping discounts, and more.

Business casual or logo wear is great attire for MRA's Capitol Day. 

Capitol Day is a professional networking event, so we want you to be comfortable and represent your business well.

Stick to what you know best! Talk about your company, the challenges you experience, and what it’s like to work in a retail environment in 2025. Inform legislators about what's impacting your business most, and how they can make sure legislation stays retail-friendly.

We’ll provide you with some talking points on key issues, too, and additional support if you need advice.

MRA's legislative reception is a must-attend event. If your schedule allows, plan to join us at Dykema's office from 4:30 to 6:30 pm for a legislative reception with cocktails and delicious food catered by Michigan's grocers. 

We would love to have your business as a sponsor.  This event is made possible by generous sponsors across the retail industry. 

Several sponsorship opportunities are available.
