NEWCO RETURNS TO MOTOR CITY FOR FOURTH ANNUAL CELEBRATION OF LOCAL STARTUP SCENE
New in 2016, NewCo Introduces VIP Tours to Connect Attendees to Local Businesswomen and “Detroit 2.0”
DETROIT, MI – FEBRUARY 22, 2016 – On April 13th, NewCo returns to the Motor City for the fourth year running with newly launched NewCo Tours featuring both women-led organizations and companies “Made in Detroit.”
“We’re continually excited to honor Detroit ingenuity and entrepreneurship through our business festivals. Now that Detroit has been named the first U.S. City of Design by UNESCO, there is even more reason to celebrate,” said NewCo founder John Battelle. “NewCo’s mission is to identify and celebrate new kinds of companies – big and small – creating positive change in how they work, what they create in the world, and who they are as citizens of their community. That is exactly the type of hopeful energy fueling Detroit.”
NewCo Festivals are different from traditional conferences. Festival participants chose which companies they want to explore, then meet company founders directly inside the company’s headquarters. Attendees learn firsthand how each organization drives purposeful transformation in its industry through engaging conversations and hands-on demonstrations led by founders and senior leadership.More
