But rubbing elbows with the glitterati is not cheap. A basic ticket goes for $495. A VIP ticket for $895.
Yes, Linkner will tell you FUEL: Detroit aims to deliver insight, inspiration and practical tools to support achievers at all levels of their careers. Though Linkner is from and active in the region, the conference series is national, hence the steep ticket price.
“John Varvatos and Chief Craig join a list of locally and nationally renowned speakers who exude energy and passion,” said Josh Linkner, Chairman and Co-Founder. “They are a perfect addition, as their collective wisdom will challenge those to believe in their own talents, experiences and power to fuel future success.”
