Bypass the regular registration line to receive your pre-printed name badge at the Speaker Reception Registration table. This badge serves as your Speaker Reception access credential.
As a VIP, the Speaker Reception is your chance to network with the speaker(s), DEC Board Members, and other executives from Southeast Michigan before each meeting. You can bring up to two guests with you (on most occasions), allowing for even more opportunities to connect. This reception is a great way to build valuable relationships that can lead to future partnerships.
For plated lunches, Gold members enjoy premium seating that places you closer to influential conversations.
While it may be tempting to sit with familiar colleagues, consider enhancing your networking potential by requesting to sit with other DEC members. Review the “Meeting Roster” beforehand to identify key attendees who align with your professional objectives, and contact the DEC at least two days before the meeting. We’ll try our best to honor requests.
Gold Member Dinners provides the opportunity to engage with some of the region’s leading business figures. Hosted by a DEC Board Member, these intimate gatherings are held at unique venues with space limited to ten members, fostering deep conversations with both the host and fellow attendees.
Gold Member Experiences are more than just gatherings; they are exclusive events designed for executives to connect, collaborate, and create lasting relationships. These receptions provide a vibrant atmosphere where leaders from various industries come together, fostering dynamic networking opportunities that can lead to valuable partnerships and innovative ideas.
