ASM Global, which manages Detroit’s TCF Center, has announced Karen Totaro as general manager of the center. She will immediately assume leadership of the management, promotion, and operation of the facilities.
“I believe Karen Totaro is the best leader to continue to inspire TCF Center’s talented team in helping us sprint forward from the pandemic impact,” says Larry Alexander, board chairman of the Detroit Regional Convention Facility Authority in Detroit.
“TCF Center has earned a world-class reputation while making a major financial impact for our region and state. ASM Global is a critical component to the growth in our meetings and conventions, which became a driving force in tax revenues, jobs, and the improvement of the reputation of Detroit and southeast Michigan, all of which helped to secure one of the largest naming rights sponsorships anywhere in the industry.”

CINCINNATI â An artifact of a bygone era in Downtown s history came down Wednesday when crews dismantled the skywalk path crossing over Sixth Street from the Millennium Hotel.
In 2002, the city began dismantling them due to lack of maintenance and nuisance complaints. By 2017, there was little more than a mile left of the $16 million investment.
At its peak, the skywalks connected what is now Duke Energy Convention Center through the heart of Downtown, past Fountain Square, all the way to Riverfront Stadium, by way of the Atrium buildings at Main and Fourth streets.
As an institution, medicine moves slowly. But the novel coronavirus pandemic forced every hospital to escalate long-planned changes from some time to right now. As the crisis ebbs, industry leaders in the Cincinnati region and the state say much of that change will stick.
“If we just go back to the way it was before, and reimplement all the problems we had, that would be foolish,” said Craig Brammer, president and chief executive officer of the Health Collaborative, the regional health conference board. “The pandemic presented an opportunity to make some structural changes that wouldn’t have happened at all, or at least not for a long time.”
