Detroit is a microcosm of the current challenges and tensions existing on a macro scale. It’s a city with firsthand experience in the flaws of our unsustainable system. Literally and figuratively, the city has rebuilt and reinvented itself many times over, most recently in the wake of a decimated economy after the auto industry collapse. A history both inspiring and foreshadowing, Detroit is a city perpetually hoping for the better; embodying the spirit of the Good Life.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”2792″ img_size=”300×300″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_outline_circle_2″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”2793″ img_size=”300×300″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_outline_circle_2″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n There’s no doubt that Detroiters know about extreme challenges. But using those challenges to continuously create opportunity for community, for small thriving businesses, and for a more sustainability-focused and better life, are what sets the city apart. <\/span><\/p>\n An exemplary model for what an inclusive, post-industrial 21st century city looks like, Detroit is an epicenter of innovation. You can feel the resilience and drive when you’re here and we can\u2019t wait to see how it will inspire you, as it has us!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Each year, SB brings together the community of leaders reshaping the future of commerce worldwide.
