And then, since we gave you the10 Commandments of Networking, it seemed only natural that we should also tell you what the Seven Deadly Sins of Networking are in order to round out the equation.New 'do? Lose weight? Hate the background?

In today’s fast-paced world risk takers must understand how to create the vision, plan for the future, be willing to take risks, break some rules and lead with humility. The most successful entrepreneurs are masters at being able to easily shift from persona-to-persona.
Tim Smith, author of the book “Dare Mighty Things: A Field Guide for Millennial Entrepreneurs” will share the profiles and secrets of 11 successful start-ups and lead a small group of entrepreneurial leaders through a workshop that will provide working examples of these secrets to enhance their brand.
As an added bonus, each attendee will leave with a copy of the just released book. The workshops will take place at Skidmore Studio, Tim’s design firm located in the heart of downtown Detroit.
Today’s Millennials are masters of their digital worlds. They move seamlessly between conversations on various platforms, and they demand engaging digital applications that contain stimulating content. However, Metro Detroit’s emergence as an environment for digital innovation in the Edtech arena is disadvantaged. Our young people deserve the same level of support that students are receiving in other metropolitan centers such as New Orleans, Pittsburgh, and San Francisco. Metro Detroit must cast off its present status of a digital “fly over” region and have the same impact on digital innovation that Motown had on the music industry.
Come hear and be inspired by 3 of Metro Detroit’s emerging Edtech pioneers as they recount their journey of how they are using digital innovation to help Metro Detroit’s youth step into the future and realize their greatness and full potential.
