Detroit Regional Convention Facility Authority

The Detroit Regional Convention Facility Authority (DRCFA) was created in 2009 to operate the Convention and Exhibition Center in Detroit under long-term lease from the City of Detroit. The DRCFA Board of Directors is comprised of five representatives selected by the Governor of Michigan, the Mayor of Detroit, and the county executives of Wayne, Oakland and Macomb Counties. The DRCFA receives funding from revenues at the center as well as support from the state’s Convention Fund.
