Opening Night Reception

Detroit is known for Motown music superstars, rich culture and fabulous cars. With its new waterfront development and unique international connection to Canada, Detroit is what’s happening now.
The city’s downtown district — including three new casinos, countless world-class restaurants and riverwalk promenade — is flourishing and has become a hot spot for fun and adventure. Indulge in all that’s good about Detroit in one fabulous fall evening.
This year’s Opening Night Event will be like no other kick-off to the PRSA International Conference. Join us to experience what is sure to be the hottest event in the city, showcasing the many facets of Detroit in one night — great music, hot cars and amazing cuisine — in the picturesque setting of the GM Renaissance Center Wintergarden.
Get ready to experience seamless, soulful and sincere harmonies from Atlantic Records Bad Boy recording artists Day26, winners of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ “Making the Band: Season 4” on MTV. Band members Brian Andrews, Mike McCluney, Qwanell Mosley (aka "Q"), Willie Taylor and Detroit native, Robert Curry, have released their CD “Day26” to critical acclaim.
