Once the center of automobile manufacturing, Detroit, the “Motor City,” became a symbol of industrial success and blue-collar solidarity until the auto industry decentralized, leaving more than 100,000 people out of work. Many wrote the city off as a ghost town, but the spirited self-determinism of its people steadily revived the economy and culture. Because of their tenacity, Detroit was named one of the world’s greatest places in 2022 by TIME magazine.
Today, Detroit is considered one of the top five financial centers in the U.S., while the vehicle industry remains a key economic driver. With a diverse population and exciting food and music scene, Detroit has become one of the most sought-after business travel destinations.

To support events of every shape and size, Motor City provides a variety of unique venues and experiences. Take, for example, Huntington Place, the largest LEED-certified facility in Michigan. This massive convention center boasts 723,000 square feet of exhibit space, a 40,000 square foot ballroom overlooking the Detroit Riverfront, and 45,000 feet of flex outdoor space. The venue includes state-of-the-art technology and high-capacity fiber optic networks to keep your AV design high-impact and attendees connected. Plus, the central downtown location is within walking distance of countless hotels and restaurants.
For smaller events, downtown options include new venues like the Cambria Hotel, which has three grand ballrooms, additional flex spaces, and 154 guest rooms. Attendees can unwind in the hotel’s 5 Iron Golf room, a sports lounge with cutting-edge golf simulators, or visit one of Detroit’s museums and restaurants.
