DETROIT, MI

OCTOBER 1ST AND 2ND

TECH EXPO 2025

Join us on October 1st and 2nd at The College for Creative Studies for Bluewater’s 2025 Tech Expo sponsored by DBusiness. This year, we’re taking it back to 1985 – Bluewater’s founding year – with a retro video game–inspired twist. Think pixel art, neon lights, and tech-fueled nostalgia, all built into a future-focused experience. Stop by or stay all day—explore the latest in AV tech, attend educational sessions, and connect with industry pros at your own pace. This event is free to attend, but registration is required.

Check out the recap from our 2024 Tech Expo to see what to expect!
