Changes for our Event Management

seated attendees at Global Accessibiility Awareness Day

Thank you for continuously being part of the tech community in Detroit! Refresh Detroit has been committed to bringing meetup events centered around usability, accessibility, and web standards.

Moving Away from Meetup.com

We have been able to provide these events at low or no cost through sponsorships.

However, over time Meetup.com has increased fees and has failed to make accessibility a priority on its platform.

We’re always looking for sponsors, with or without meetup. If you or your company would like to sponsor an event, please reach out to us.

New Home for Upcoming Events and Announcements

We will continue to have events in the city and will be posting announcements here on our website as well as on Eventbrite.

To get alerts of upcoming events and event recaps we’ve created a new mailing list. We hope you’ll subscribe.

Thank you! You are what makes the Detroit community great! Help us continue to make you awesome!
