SystemX 2026 RECAP| April 7-8  · The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation, Detroit

What the room found: two days of practitioners working through what collaboration across the System actually requires.

The Question on the Table

~60 Practitioners | 30+ Institutions | 2 Days | 6 Working Sessions

About sixty practitioners from more than thirty institutions spent two days at The Henry Ford working the question, in structured working sessions rather than presentations, with peers as the primary teachers.
