Room 140FG
Workshop
This session will explore the evolution of 2030 District programs in the cities of Detroit, MI, and Cincinnati, OH, looking at the kinds of leadership, partnership development and storytelling it takes for this new national model for urban sustainability to take off. Attendees will see a preview of Newsy Brand Studio’s “Modern Metropolis” documentary (premiering late 2019), along with highlights from their “Shifting Baselines” series, produced in partnership with Sustainable Brands. This will be a two-part workshop, with the first half devoted to examining how 2030 District projects work and what roles brands play in them, and the second half focused on the power of video storytelling in helping uncommon collaborations succeed.
