About the Event
The ENGYS User Group Meeting 2022 will be hosted at the MADISON,1555 Broadway Street, Detroit, MI 48226, United States. The Madison is a designated landmark building located at the heart of Downtown Detroit.
The Madison Theatre was built in 1917 to sit over 1,800 people, making it the largest of the theatres at the time in Detroit’s former theatre district “Grand Circus Park”. In 1984, the Madison closed for good. In 2011, Dan Gilbert’s Rock Ventures purchased the building and transformed it into a collaborative tech hub to encourage partnerships among entrepreneurs, including a large 130-seat auditorium and a rooftop with great views of the city.
