MLC Connect 2020 | Ford Field | Detroit, Michigan
COVID-19 Update
Dear Creative Thinkers,
We hope that you are all staying safe and strong during these unprecedented times. We know that this has been especially hard on all of us in the sports industry – and as you know, MLC Connect is in the same boat. We encourage everyone to remain positive, use this time to spread hope, and we believe the industry will be back very soon.
Like most, we here at MLC Connect have also had to make some tough decisions in the past few weeks. After reviewing all of the state and federal recommendations, and considering multiple format options, we have decided to postpone this year's event from July 17-18 to a later date to be determined.
All current registrations will be honored at the rescheduled event. Hotel reservations will also be transferred to the new dates. No action is needed on your part at this time, if you're already registered.
We are currently working with Ford Field, Home of the Lions, to determine availability for later this year. We are likely looking at Q4 – an October through November timeframe – but we will not have confirmation on exact dates until early May when the NFL schedule is announced.
If you have any questions or concerns, please email us at team@mlcconnect.com or visit mlcconnect.com.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this together and keep the spirit of our community united. We can’t thank you enough for sticking with us!
One of our core values is to “gather”, and we believe that at the core, the strength of our creative sports community is just that, we gather. Like all of you, we are looking forward to getting things back to normal soon, and getting the opportunity to connect in person once again. In the meantime, please stay safe and keep making dope stuff.
Gather, Learn, Return, Apply and Share.
Thank you,
Chris David Garcia
