The First Annual RIVET User Conference · April 27–29, 2027
Contractor-led sessions, hands-on labs, and the 2027 product reveal — all at The Department at Hudson's, the $1.4B landmark standing on the site of Detroit's legendary J.L. Hudson's department store, right on Woodward Avenue downtown. It's the first skyscraper raised on this skyline in a generation — put up by the same trades that will fill this room. There's no better place in the Motor City to plan where the workforce moves next.
Two days of sessions across April 27–29 at The Department at Hudson’s — every format built to make you better at RIVET.
Breakout Sessions
Tracks matched to your role — every session co-led by a contractor who runs it in RIVET daily.
The RIVET Shop
A dedicated station staffed by our Customer Success and Product teams, open all day, every day of the event.
The User Soapbox
The station for ideas, not tickets — show us what you can’t do yet.
Real operators on the platform, the results, and the team behind it.
