Volunteering at TiECon Detroit 2017

When: November 8-10, 2017


Where: Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center | Renaissance Center, 400 Renaissance Drive | Detroit, MI 48243


TiE is seeking students and others interested in business, entrepreneurship, technology, medical science, and engineering to support TiECon Detroit - the largest entrepreneurial conference in Michigan! Volunteers can be found at TiECon doing anything from facilitating conference meals and networking events, to assisting speakers and handling pre-panel setup. Work will be split up into partial day shifts that allow maximum flexibility for volunteers who also need to attend classes during the day or night.

Benefits of volunteering at TiECon include:
Networking! Where else could you expect to meet the father of Indian Telecom, the Governor of Michigan, and high-level managers from big-name companies like Google, Tesla, and the Henry Ford Health System?

  • Volunteer Hours: may be required in some programs, and they always look good on your resume.
  • Attend for free: avoid paying for conference registration or membership (although we encourage you to join as a student member)
  • Free Food: when appropriate

The warm glow of helping to put Michigan on the map as a startup/tech hub, where it belongs!
