Fortune 500 Innovation Forum Expands Speaker Roster for Detroit Summit

The newly confirmed lineup features high-profile leaders including Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian, General Motors President Mark Reuss, and Carhartt CEO Linda Hubbard. Joining them are figures from across the corporate spectrum, such as BlackRock’s Claire Chamberlain and U.S. Chief Design Officer Joe Gebbia, alongside multi-platinum artist and philanthropist Big Sean. These leaders will join an existing group of speakers that includes Dan Gilbert, NYSE Group President Lynn Martin, and several state governors, reflecting the forum's focus on bridging legacy manufacturing with emerging sectors like robotics and social impact.

Beyond the speaker sessions, the event will feature on-site coverage by the "Fortune Daily" show, hosted by Ellie Austin. Filming at The Department at Hudson’s, the production team will conduct interviews with participants to be broadcast throughout the week of the conference. The event is also backed by a fresh slate of corporate support, with General Motors and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation signing on as supporting sponsors, while Rocket Companies and Altria join as premier partners.
