We work with a variety of partners, including Oakland County to host, support, and create events to support the Oakland County business community.

We participate in many countywide events, including the Oakland County Economic Outlook, a great networking event for Oakland County business leaders.
We participate in many local, state, national and international level conferences and trade shows. This year, Oakland Thrive is involved in the planning of the opening reception of the Vehicle and Transportation Technology Innovation Meetings, an international B2B forum for innovations in automotive and mobility.
