IT in the D was pleased to be a part of Social Media Day Detroit on Friday, June 26. Listen to the opening panel discussion during the VIP reception…which was originally supposed to be about new ways to use technology to solve some problems in Detroit, but wound up being a deeper discussion about what those problems are and how they impact people’s lives…
Some great folks were on the panel including:

David Anderson, CoFounder at Bamboo Detroit
Piper Carter, CoFounder at Detroit Digital Justice Coalition
Jake Cohen, Partner at Detroit Venture Partners
Michael Evans, Senior Developer at Loveland Technologies

So give it a listen.
