# Monday night event: Touring Detroit and Strolling Supper
(opens new window)Detroit is transforming. After a jam packed day full of informational talks we are going exploring through Detroit. From the conference we will be shuttled downtown to enjoy a walking tour with strolling dinner put on by Detroit Experience Factory (opens new window).
Even if you think you know Detroit, you may be surprised. We will set off on a walking tour of downtown Detroit lead by experienced guides to learn the history, current state and future of the city. During the tour we will stop at two restaurants for heavy hors d'oeuvre and half dinner at each. The tour will end at the Volt Bar in the hotel to network with your fellow Highered Michigan Web workers.
