Detroit’s Convention Center Has Officially Been Renamed TCF Center
BY Sophie JonssonPOSTED September 19, 2019
As of August 2019, Detroit’s renowned convention center is officially renamed the TCF Center.
The change came in the form of an unprecedented 22-year naming rights deal that will set the venue for financial success in the future, as well as a move toward becoming a self-sustaining facility by 2024.
With such changes, the convention center’s 1.5 million annual visitors are only bound to increase. Located over the Detroit River, the 30,000-square-foot glass atrium is the 17th largest convention center in the country and includes a public art collection, grand ballroom, exhibit space, terraces, and more than 100 meeting and banquet rooms. For event planners, the space also includes free wifi, programmable video displays, food and beverage services, and is an Event Industry Council APEX/ASTM certified facility.
In a space that celebrates Detroit’s rich industrial and cultural heritage at every turn, visitors and event planners alike are sure to have a great experience at the TCF Center.
Exhibitors at Huntington Place, Detroit’s newly renamed convention center, will be interacting with a new electric service provider, beginning April 1st. Karen Totaro, general manager for ASM Global and Huntington Place, has announced Freeman as Huntington’s exclusive electric service provider.
Destination Ann Arbor will hold its 2022 virtual Annual Meeting on Wednesday, April 6, from 11:00 a.m.-noon. The meeting will feature an address by Adam Sacks, founder and president of Tourism Economics, a company dedicated to understanding the relationship between travel and the economy. For more than 25 years, Sacks has worked with destinations, industry associations, and companies around the world to deliver market assessments, forecast scenarios, policy evaluations and economic impact studies.
