Detroit Economic Club

Detroit Economic Club
Metro area business leaders belong to the Detroit Economic Club, headquartered at 211 West Fort Street.

The Detroit Economic Club, headquartered at 211 West Fort Street in downtown Detroit, Michigan, was formed in 1934 as a platform for the discussion and debate of important business, government and social issues. It is known internationally as a top speaking forum for prominent business, academic, and government officials, who address members and their guests at the Club's 35 meetings a season. With more than 3,200 members, the DEC is a forum for vital issues. The DEC claims to have hosted every sitting U.S. President since Richard Nixon and be ranked among the top speaking platforms in the world. The DEC claims to be one of the most valued podiums for CEO's in the world and one of the top five executive speaking forums in America.[1]
