Heading To Detroit For Forward with Ford Conference

Tomorrow, I’m headed out to Ford HQ in Detroit MI for the Forward With Ford conference!

It’s my first time to Detroit, and I’m curious to see what it’s like. The only exposure I’ve had to Detroit is from 8 Mile, Parking Wars, and Hardcore Pawn.

I’ll be joining Ford Motor Company for Forward with Ford 2011, an exclusive two-day media program that will explore global trends and issues facing consumers now and forward into the future.

Forward with Ford 2011 will bring together expert futurists and key trend-spotters as well as Ford’s designers, scientists and product specialists to explore what’s influencing the choices facing consumers today and tomorrow. From lifestyles and occupations, to transportation and technologies, we will have the opportunity to participate in discussions, interviews and product experiences with the experts.

Hosted in Dearborn MI, home to Ford’s World Headquarters, we will also have the unique opportunity to go behind the scenes for an exclusive preview of Ford’s laboratories, design studios and worldwide proving grounds for a look at Ford’s innovative solutions to meet the demands of the future.

Stay tuned for my posts about my experience. I will also be Tweeting when time permits, so be sure to follow @GuysGab and the hashtag #FordTrends.
