What is the C3 Tech Summit?

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.

Is lodging available for out-of-town attendees?
You can use the code BM3 on Marriott.com to get a discounted rate at any of the Marriott properties in downtown Grand Rapids who have availability. 
 

We recommend checking in on Tuesday, November 11, and checking out on Thursday, November 13.

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.

How do I register for Sessions?

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.
