Conference Schedule

The Venue is set: the newest tower on the Detroit skyline.

RIVET Move takes over The Department at Hudson’s — the $1.4B landmark standing on the site of Detroit’s legendary J.L. Hudson’s department store, right on Woodward Avenue downtown. It’s the first skyscraper raised on this skyline in a generation — put up by the same trades that will fill this room. There’s no better place in the Motor City to plan where the workforce moves next.

What to Expect

Two days at The Department at Hudson’s — every format built to make you better at RIVET.
