Last year, Detroit hosted two successful tech conferences, TechNow and Module Midwest Digital Conference. This year they have combined forces to form the region’s largest technology conference, FutureMidwest 2010. The conference takes place April 16-17 at the Royal Oak Music Theatre.
What’s FutureMidwest about?
It’s an event much like the popular SXSW that takes place in Austin, TX each year. FutureMidwest will feature tech presentations mixed in with networking opportunities, panel discussions, a demo pit, breakout sessions and workshops. The full agenda is available online.
Who’s speaking at FutureMidwest?
The keynote speaker is Detroit-native Jay Adelson, formerly CEO of Digg. Other speakers cover a wide range. Some are social media strategists from large publicly-held companies. Some are young entrepreneurs. If you have aspirations of making it big in the tech, the region’s largest players will be in attendance offering up sage advice. The full list of presenters is available online.
Any impressive sponsors?
Yes, corporate sponsors are equally as impressive as the roster of presenters. Notable sponsors include: Read Write Web, Mashable, Verizon Wireless, GM, Ford, blip.tv and Yelp.
Ticket Information
Full registration covering the entire event is $100 for a student / $200 all others. Networking and entertainment Friday night only is $25. Corporate discounts are available. Proceeds benefit the Multiple Sclerosis Society. Tickets are available online.
