About

Building the next generation of entrepreneurs, leaders, and industry innovation.

We have a mission to bridge generations, sectors, and industries with experiential and educational events that emphasize the topics of real estate, technology, and leadership.

Next Gen MKE was founded by Matthew Schneider, a Gen Z serial entrepreneur. His vision is that we’re all actively building and determining the future of our world, whether or not this is something we realize and pursue. The more aware we can become of our power to influence our cities even ten years from now, the brighter and better the world may become.

Next Gen MKE has come to symbolize multiple ideas: a democratized future, where more people have access within industries, spurring innovation and productivity; a sustainable future, recognizing the need for minimizing waste and maximizing beauty; an emphasis on character and integrity, which holds leaders to high standards and empowers their communities.

The task might seem daunting but Matthew, his team, and the Midwest community are no strangers to adversity: together, we can build something big.
