Note: they have a special "no frills" registration for $100 - amazing deal!
Detroit will host the Creative Cities Summit 2.0 (CCS2) on October 12-15, 2008 at the Renaissance Center. CCS2 is an interdisciplinary conference on the economic, social, cultural and environmental aspects of what makes great cities.
I could talk on and on about the eye-popping agenda they have created and amazing speakers who will attend - headlined by Dr. Richard Florida, author of Rise of the Creative Class, John Howkins, author of The Creative Economy, and Charles Landry, author of The Creative City. I could muse about how all the attendees from all over the world might influence the conversation about the re-invention of Detroit and Michigan. I could say that if you can't make it during the week, you might want to check out the Unconference on Sunday @ MOCAD.
However, I think it'll be enough to ask you to watch the videos in our Creative Cities 2.0 playlist below (including a little Detroit easter egg) and tell you to register now! See you there!

A special message from Peter Kageyama:
"The Creative Cities Summit 2.0 is rapidly approaching, and we are very excited about the line up and the buzz that the event is generating. In polling our colleagues and potential attendees, it seems that the current state of the economy has everyone counting pennies and tightening budgets especially young professionals and non-profit organizations.
After hearing your concerns, we have decided to develop a creative response to this issue. We are going to offer a special "No Frills" registration rate of $100 that provides access to all the events, but does not include meals and beverages. We believe this will increase the inclusively of our conference, allowing more people to participate and learn from our fabulous speakers and enjoy an amazing Detroit experience.
So click over, and come to Creative Cities!
