BREAKOUT SESSION: Secure Your Future and Michigan's by Succeeding in Detroit

Have you ever thought to yourself or been asked by someone else, “Why Detroit?” In this engaging presentation, we will answer that question with gusto. From unique small businesses, art galleries, specialty restaurants, and shops to world-renowned architecture and cultural institutions, historic neighborhoods, and unparalleled public spaces, Detroit is full of unique assets that make it an amazing place to call home, and it’s only getting better. It’s ground zero for innovative industries that will transform the future, one of the leading cities for entrepreneurship, and job opportunities abound no matter what your skillset or interest. This presentation will help young leaders see the benefit to themselves, and to Michigan, of being an integral part of taking Michigan into the future.

Key Takeaways:

• What Detroit can offer young leaders and the value proposition for why they should stay in the area
• Why people are moving from New York, San Francisco and other parts of the country to Detroit
• Metro Detroit is full of opportunity regardless of field
• How young leaders can be a part of making Detroit and Michigan even better than it is now and the many great examples of successful people who did just that
