The C3 Tech Summit is a mix of networking, breakout sessions, and exclusive meetings. Featuring 30+ sessions, over 30 speakers (including conversations with customers to hear their story), and 60+ sponsors with booths to hear the latest technology available in the marketplace.

Sessions are focused on content and not sales pitches. We're focused on providing information, not a purchase.

What is the Dress Code?

The recommended dress for the event is Business Casual to Business Formal. There will be exclusive meetings and meeting rooms available to you while you attend, and these rooms can get cold, so we recommend dressing in layers.

Will Recordings be Available After the Event?

Yes! We will be recording the sessions and you will be able to review all your favorites within 30 days of the event. If you have a specific session you would like to review, please include that in your post-event survey and we will be sure to send it directly to you.

Where Do I Park?

DeVos Place has parking conveniently located under the convention center. Access to the parking lot is on Michigan Street and Lyon Street*. Please note you cannot access the underground parking garage if you are heading West on Michigan Street. No left hand turns are permitted due to a semi-permanent concrete berm installed for a new crosswalk.

Additional parking may be available in the City-County Building on Monroe Avenue (across from DeVos Place) or several other parking structures within walking distance.

When is the Last Day to Register?

You can register for the summit the same day! We will close online registrations the week of the summit, but you will be able to register for the summit on the same day at the registration desk at Devos Place.
