Detroit - City of Opportunity event

I've come across an interesting event happening tomorrow in Detroit. It is about how Detroit is trying to reposition itself. I will actually be attending for work tomorrow. It might be good for some of you to attend as well. Here is the description and details:

the SALON: The City of Opportunity
April 8, 5-8 PMCollege of Creative Studies, Wendell W. Anderson Jr. Auditorium
201 E. Kirby Street, Detroit

Join Next American City and Model D for a salon featuring a conversation about economy and how Detroit is working to reposition itself as the city of opportunity. Moderator Dave Egner of the Hudson Webber Foundation will host a panel of Detroit converts - Toby Barlow of the JWT Team Detroit, Luis Croquer of the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, Meghan McEwen of CS Interiors and Kirsten Ussery of Detroit Renaissance - to talk about the disconnect between preconceived notions about the city and the reality of moving into Detroit. A reception will immediately follow the conversation.

Admission to the salon is free for all attendees. Admission to the reception is free for subscribers. Admission for non-subscribers is $15 in advance or $20 at the door and includes a 1-year subscription to Next American City and entry to all NAC events and free food and drinks.
