2026 WIC Vendor Conference

 

September 9, 2026

Crystal Mountain Resort
12500 Crystal Mountain Dr., Thompsonville, MI 49683

Complete Mandatory Training Requirement

All WIC-authorized Vendors are contractually required to attend an interactive training once every three (3) years. The annual Vendor Conference fulfills this training requirement. Vendors not up-to-date on their training will not be eligible for Contract renewal.

If you cannot attend the Vendor Conference, an online training option is available. Please visit WICwise.org to access and complete the online training module.

Learn Beyond Contractual Requirements

Join us as we “Step into the Future” of WIC and explore the programmatic and technology innovations affecting our program. In addition to the mandatory training topics, we are excited to highlight how our partnerships with vendors, clinicians and other state staff continue to grow WIC and improve the health outcomes of our children now as well as for future generations to come.

Bring a Colleague

Each store location can bring up to two (2) representatives. We hope you take what you learn back to your store and start a conversation about ways to innovate and improve your WIC services.

Be the First to Know

Michigan WIC has had an exciting year of special projects and new developments. By attending the conference, you will hear updates on policy changes and initiatives directly from Michigan WIC staff and partners.

Do you own multiple authorized vendor locations? Each store location must send a separate representative for the store to receive training credit.
Attendance Requirement: Full-day attendance from 9 am to 3:30 pm is necessary to receive training credit.
