So I spent some time the last couple of days on Fighting Island in the middle of the Detroit River. It was my third time there. Located inside Canada, Fighting Island is a private island owned by BASF -- the "we don't make things, we make things better" people. If you check up on the story of Fighting Island, you will find that BASF has truly made it better, turning it from an environmental nightmare into a very nice private resort and conference center.

It's a nice place to visit but, still, when you're there, you are stuck on an island in the middle of the Detroit River -- no getting around that fact.

Anyway, BASF's hospitality is incredible. It's a great place for meetings.
