Both design and business strategy need to embrace, understand and seamlessly blend with each other. It has been done. It can be learned. It can be adapted to your market segment. Come join the dialogue, explore possibilities and immerse yourself in cases studies and success stories shared by our outstanding cast of speakers. This year’s host city, Detroit, is a prime example of most of this region’s cities. It sits at the cross roads of a design renaissance. Detroit was once the most innovative city in the US, but over time a unique set of challenges left it struggling to regain that title. Now after years of hard work and creativity the city is teeming with design and innovative initiatives. It is gearing up to reclaim this coveted position, and we look at how design is poised to help lead that charge! Apart from an awesome lineup of speakers that you definitely don’t want to miss, we have great extracurricular activities that highlight the diversity of design engagements happening here. We are confident that from this dialogue you will collect the innovative mojo generated here, take it back to your studios and use it to innovate in your own next ventures.
