Michigan's Most Intentional Business Growth Experience: Connect with Buyers, Capital Providers, and Growth Partners in One Afternoon.

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. **


What to Wear: Summer-Chic Riverfront Attire:

The Riverfront Exchange is designed to feel polished, relaxed, and summer-ready. Guests are encouraged to dress in elevated summer attire that is comfortable for networking, movement, and enjoying the riverfront atmosphere.

Think:

• Linen sets, lightweight suits, or summer blazers

• Dress shorts or tailored shorts

• Sundresses, jumpsuits, or summer separates

• Polished resort-style looks

• Comfortable shoes suitable for walking, standing, and networking

This is business connection with a summer edge—professional, stylish, breathable, and ready for the riverfront.


An Elevated Summer Experience

Business gets done when people connect.

Enjoy an afternoon on the riverfront featuring:

  • Open bar and curated culinary pairings
  • Intentional networking activations

FAQs

  1. Do I have to qualify or get approved before I buy a ticket?

    No. Anyone can register. After you register, you create your MatchMaker365 (MM365) profile, which unlocks the Deal Room and Capital Access Club and puts you in line for pre-scheduled introductions. There's no approval gate to purchase — registration is open to all.

  2. How does the matchmaking actually work?

    MatchMaker365 Connections helps match attendees onsite with the most relevant people in the room. Attendees who complete an MM365 profile may also qualify for limited pre-scheduled Deal and Capital Room introductions based on buyer needs and business capabilities.

  3. What do I actually walk away with?

    You’ll leave with targeted introductions to relevant buyers, partners, and resources, plus an MM365 profile that keeps connecting you after the event. Completed profiles may also qualify for pre-scheduled Deal and Capital Room meetings.

  4. What if my business is brand new or small?

    This event is built for businesses at every stage, including startups, small businesses, founders, SEDI businesses, and growth-ready suppliers. Matchmaking connects you to buyers and partners aligned with your goals and capabilities.

  5. Is this event only for certified diverse suppliers?

    No. The Riverfront Exchange is open to suppliers, entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, procurement professionals, lenders, and capital providers looking to build meaningful business connections.

  6. What’s the MM365 profile and do I have to create one?

    Your MM365 profile helps match your business to the right people and opportunities. It’s optional for general networking, but required for Deal Room and Capital Access Club access and pre-scheduled introductions. Visit https://www.matchmaker365.org/ to learn more about MM365.

  7. Why is the ticket $199 — what’s included?

    Your ticket includes onsite matchmaking, structured networking, parking, curated food, open bar, and access to Deal and Capital Room opportunities with a completed profile. One strong connection can be worth far more than the ticket.

  8. Can I get a refund or transfer my ticket?

    Tickets are transferable, so you can pass your registration to a colleague at no charge before the event. Refunds are not available.

  9. What should I wear?

    Summer-chic riverfront attire: polished, relaxed, and comfortable. Think linen, lightweight suits or blazers, tailored shorts, sundresses, jumpsuits, and comfortable shoes for walking and networking.

  10. Where is it and where do I park?

    The event will be held at The Icon on Detroit's riverfront: 200 Walker Street, Detroit, MI 48207. A parking garage is located under the event center and will be available for all attendees. More info about the space is available at https://www.rockevents.com/venues/the-icon
