Forbes, the financial news and investment publisher, will convene a four-day Under 30 conference for young global entrepreneurs and thought leaders this fall in Detroit.

Details are to be announced Tuesday at a media event featuring Forbes executives along with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Mayor Mike Duggan, County Executive Warren Evans, and businessman Dan Gilbert.

Known as U30 conferences, the Forbes-sponsored events have been held in several cities around the world. The conferences promise to bring together young global change-makers in a format designed to spark new ideas and investments.

On Forbes' website, it promotes the 2019 conference this way: "Join the best young leaders, founders and creators for a life-changing four days of connecting, learning, teaching and building."

The 2019 Forbes Under 30 Summit will be "an immersive experience" featuring "a private music festival, A-list speakers, investor speed-pitching, industry-focused field trips, a legendary pub crawl, a world-famous food festival and a powerful day of community service," according to the Forbes website.

The website does not name Detroit as the destination but the Free Press confirmed the selection in other ways. The conference will be held here in October.

For a U30 conference held in Amsterdam last year, Forbes promised it would "bring the most creative and accomplished young list members together from across the continent for inspiring programming led by the world’s leading business minds" with cultural excursions and "unparalleled networking opportunities."

The Forbes conference will be the latest event to focus the attention of world leaders on Detroit's revitalization story. Last fall, the CityLab Detroit conference brought dozens of mayors and other city leaders from around the world to Detroit to brainstorm solutions to urban problems.

Forbes' upcoming event will also highlight Detroit's emerging role as a center for entrepreneurial startups. Over the past 20 years, the Southeast Michigan area has enjoyed a rapid increase in entrepreneurial activity, including more venture capital investment and more startups emerging from incubators like TechTown in Detroit.
