If you want to see the direction of Michigan’s innovation economy, take a good look at what happened this weekend at Future Midwest 2010 in Royal Oak.
Ingenex Digital Marketing was on the scene for Future Midwest’s Friday sessions, which featured a full slate of Internet marketing experts, technology entrepreneurs and business innovators who are all passionate about the next-generation economy in Metro Detroit.
The day began with a discussion of online customer advocacy from author and chief interruptor Joe Jaffe and continued with Fluency CEO Tim Schaden’s overview of online marketing integration before going into a truly impressive overview of social marketing leadership from Ford’s social media director Scott Monty.
Other notable presentations included Edelman Digital’s Manager of Emerging Media and Measurement Blagica Bottigliero, Ghostly International founder Sam Valenti IV and Razorfish Global Social Media Lead Shiv Singh. The first session of Future Midwest concluded with a social media marketing panel discussion before heading outdoors for the music and food of the Future Midwest Street Experience.
Future Midwest 2010 provided a glimpse of the true digital future in Michigan. Smart investors will want to begin investing now, and Dateline NBC might want to take note.
