Some of the nation's top high-tech leaders are visiting Detroit today for Techonomy, a day-long examination of how technology and innovation can help improve economic growth and urban revival. Headlining the conference is Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter and CEO of Square, a digital payment service, who spoke at last year's event in Detroit. Also speaking are Gov. Rick Snyder and Dan Gilbert, the founder and chairman of Detroit-based Quicken Loans. This year's Techonomy conference, the second annual in Detroit, is being held at Wayne State University.
