The Conference discussion continued online, with tweets streaming live throughout the day on MLIVE Buzz Boards located throughout the MotorCity Casino Hotel. The 2013 Conference showcased Detroit’s continued transformation by inviting public and private sector leaders to share their expertise and inspire innovative solutions that encourage urban revitalization. This year’s Conference was built on last year’s event, highlighting key issues for Detroit and opportunities for urban and suburban businesses. With Dave Bing, Mayor, City of Detroit, Matt Cullen, President and CEO, Rock Ventures, and author and well known “urbanist” Richard Florida as keynote speakers, the Conference brought together public and private sector leaders to provide expertise and inspire innovative solutions for the city’s continued turnaround.
