Pre-Forum Activity: The Henry Ford Museum of Innovation May 14th from 3-7:30 pm ET

Step into a world where past innovations fuel the imagination of generations to come. A vibrant exploration of genius in all its forms, Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation allows you to experience the strides of America’s greatest minds while fully immersing yourself in their stories. Step inside the bus where Rosa Parks took a stand by taking a seat. Play pilot as you explore flight innovations, starting with the Wright brothers’ achievements, or make yourself at home inside Buckminster Fuller’s circular Dymaxion House. Put yourself in the place of the movers and shakers who blazed the trail to where we stand today. And in doing so, discover your own path.

Post-Forum Activity at Newlab Innovation Tour May 16 from 3-5 pm ET at 2050 15th Street, Detroit, MI 48216

We invite you for an afternoon immersed in technology and innovation at Newlab. Once the city’s main post office and then the Detroit Public School Book Depository, this historic Albert Kahn-designed building is now home to a new generation of innovators working on the future of mobility.

Newlab Detroit features entrepreneurs and inventors from a multitude of companies, creating next-generation mobility solutions to advance areas like electrification and aerial technology and contains purpose-built workspaces and prototyping labs to accelerate R&D and collaboration. The Book Depository is the first rehabbed building in Ford Motor Co.’s billion dollar Michigan Central mobility district revitalization effort. This revitalization includes the iconic Michigan Central Station.
