Tauber Field Trek: Shinola Flagship (Detroit)
-
Location:
Shinola Detroit LLC, Alfred Taubman Building/CCS, 485 W Milwaukee Street, Suite 501, Detroit, MI 48202
Tauber is taking to the field and we hope you will join us. Through this Tauber Field Trek we aim to bring current Tauber alumni, students, company sponsors, and Tauber community members together for a behind the scenes operations tour at the Shinola Factory in Detroit. Inside the 30,000 square feet of raw space, Shinola has created a state-of-the-art watch factory within the College for Creative Studies in the historic Argonaut building. Dr. Gene Goodson, Executive in Residence for the Tauber Institute will join us to provide in-depth knowledge of emerging trends for lean transformation within companies.
Space is limited to 25 registered Tauber guests. As requested by Shinola, participants should arrive at the event on time; late arrivals will not have building access.
This is a complimentary event. With limited space available, please register only if you will attend. Registration will close before May 31st.
Can’t make it in time for the event at Shinola? Join us for a no-host drink from 6:30-7:30pm one block from Shinola at Northern Lights Lounge (660 W Baltimore ST, Detroit, MI 48202). No registration necessary.
Stay tuned for Tauber Field Treks coming soon to the Bay Area, Seattle, and Chicago.
