Detroit Brew Crew Brings 50 Industry Professionals Together!
Building Connections and Celebrating Our Industry in Detroit!
What happens when you bring 50 printing and graphic communications professionals together for an evening of networking? Great conversations, valuable connections, and a stronger industry community!
Graphic Media Alliance recently hosted its second Michigan Brew Crew event of 2026 in the Detroit area, bringing together members, industry partners, and friends for an evening dedicated to building relationships and celebrating the people who make our industry exceptional.
Following a successful Brew Crew gathering in Grand Rapids earlier this year, the Detroit event continued our efforts to create more opportunities for Michigan's printing and graphic communications community to connect, exchange ideas, and build meaningful professional relationships.
A Special Thank You to Our Partners and Sponsors!
We extend our sincere appreciation to Lindenmeyr Munroe and Dales Graphic Solutions for sponsoring the evening, along with our event partner, AIGA Detroit, for helping bring our communities together.
Their support makes opportunities like Brew Crew possible and reinforces the value of collaboration throughout our industry.
More Than Networking. It's About Community.
At Graphic Media Alliance, we believe some of the most valuable conversations happen outside the conference room. Events like Brew Crew provide a relaxed environment where industry professionals can reconnect with colleagues, meet new people, share experiences, and discover opportunities to work together.
With 50 attendees joining us in Detroit, the evening was another reminder of the strength and enthusiasm of our Michigan industry community.
As we look ahead to 2027, we're excited to continue creating opportunities that bring our members together, strengthen relationships, and celebrate everything that makes this industry special.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in Detroit. We look forward to seeing you at our next Brew Crew! Next up, Northern Region – Keep an eye out for upcoming dates and locations.
