About this Event

The Riverfront Exchange — Where Suppliers Meet the Buyers Who Are Actually Sourcing
Monday, July 20 | 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM
One Event. Multiple Paths to Opportunity

Most networking events leave your next contract to chance. This one doesn't.

On July 20, the Detroit riverfront becomes a working marketplace where business owners sit across from the corporate, federal, and state buyers responsible for real procurement decisions. Through MatchMaker365, every attendee is matched onsite to the people most relevant to their business — and qualified suppliers can unlock pre-scheduled introductions in the Deal Room. You don't work the room hoping to get lucky. You arrive with a plan.

For $199, your registration includes:

  • Onsite matchmaking through MatchMaker365 — targeted introductions to the right people in the room, not random handshakes
  • Access to the Deal Room, where suppliers are introduced to corporate and agency buyers for current and upcoming opportunities (create your MM365 profile to unlock)
  • Access to the Capital Access Club for businesses exploring funding and growth capital (profile required)
  • The chance to secure pre-scheduled introductions — limited, matched in advance, and filled in the order profiles are completed
  • A full afternoon on the riverfront — open bar, curated food, and structured networking built to produce business, not small talk

The math is simple. One buyer relationship is worth multiples of $199 — and this event is built to give you several. Pre-scheduled Deal Room introductions are limited and matched in advance. Register, complete your MM365 profile, and secure your introductions early.
The Riverfront Exchange brings Michigan’s business community together in one place.

🔹 Connection Lounge: The heart of the event. Build B2B and B2C relationships, meet new contacts, reconnect with familiar faces, and expand your network.

🔹 Deal Room: A curated environment for qualified businesses seeking future buyer introductions and business opportunities through MM365.

🔹 Capital Access Club: A dedicated space for growth-minded businesses exploring funding opportunities and pathways to capital.

* * Access to Deal Room and Capital Access opportunities requires event registration and participation in the MM365 qualification process. **
