Does Detroit Design Summit Sell Its Attendee Email List?
No—official Detroit Design Summit attendee badge registries are private, and third-party emails offering "Detroit Design Summit attendee spreadsheets" are scams. Neither Design Core Detroit nor Benson & Edith Ford Conference Center sells raw attendee email lists to outside brokers. Use our Verified Exhibitor Directory and Pre-Show B2B Matchmaking Dossier below to book meetings with verified retail/wholesale buyers, distributors, and exhibiting manufacturers before the show.
