Detroit in Context Bus Tour: Housing & Home Repair Edition
This year, we're teaming up with City Institute to offer a half-day tour of the Detroit community. Tour tickets must be purchased separately from conference tickets. Learn more on the registration page here.
We're offering two tour time slot options. Both tours will be held on the first day of the conference, on November 13th, 2024. Tour #1 will take place from 9am - 12pm, immediately after the opening keynote session, and Tour #2 will take place from 1pm - 4pm, immediately after lunch. Both groups will have the same tour stops.
Because the tour will take place on the first day of the conference, some breakout sessions will occur at the same time as each tour slot. We encourage you to review this year's session schedule before choosing your tour time slot.
2024 Highlights:
- Opportunity to participate in a half-day tour of Detroit to see the housing rehab work going on & learn about the history of the city
- Convene around home repair in a city that has been spotlighting the importance of this work
