In this episode of Daily Detroit, I talk with Dan Horn, Vice President of Mobility for Franco Integrated Communications, about the impact of conferences and events in Detroit and Metro Detroit. 

We explore the importance of these gatherings beyond just trade shows, highlighting their crucial role in economic development, connecting businesses, and advancing key industries like mobility.

We get into the variety of conferences held in the region, from the Detroit Auto Show to industry-specific events, and how they serve as a platform for collaboration, sharing expertise, and building partnerships.

We talk about the economic boost these conferences provide to the region through hotel bookings, dining, and other local spending, while simultaneously attracting investment and talent.

It is stressed how these events encourage in-person interactions to strengthen relationships and create opportunities that cannot be achieved through virtual communication alone.

Daily Detroit shares what to know and where to go in Detroit every day.
