Media Registration

All regular Detroit Economic Club meetings are open to credentialed journalists. Please use the online form below to apply for credentials for journalist(s) attending.

To ensure we provide enough working space, advance credential requests are greatly appreciated, even if your news organization has not yet made assignment decisions (use “TBD” when and if necessary). If you do not receive a response from us, please consider your credential request approved.

Space will be reserved at the back of the meeting room venue as a media work area with table(s) and chairs.

Generally, after each speech, the speaker will be available for questions during a 10-15 minute news media briefing, often held in a separate room within the venue.

For inquiries, please contact Matt Friedman at (248) 626-0006 or mfriedman@tannerfriedman.com.

*Due to budget limitations, we are not able to offer complimentary meals to journalists.

    Our speaking program generally begins at 12:35 p.m. with a traditional invocation and the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by announcements and an introduction by our meeting’s Presiding Officer. The speaking program typically concludes by 1:30 p.m.

    Some speaker organizations decide to live stream speaking programs, but not all. Please ask us, and we’ll let you know.
