Management Education Center

The Management Education Center (MEC) is a full-service conference center on 25-plus acres in Troy, Michigan, roughly 20 miles north of Detroit. Dedicated in 1975 through the generosity of Southeast Michigan's major automotive and industrial leaders — including Chrysler, General Motors, and Ford Motor Company — the center was donated to Michigan State University's Eli Broad College of Business and has served the regional business community ever since. The facility offers more than 25,000 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor event space across a range of settings: a 385-seat auditorium with theater-style fixed seating and a private projection booth, two tiered amphitheaters accommodating up to 100 guests each, formal dining rooms for up to 304 guests that can be subdivided into three separate sections, and an outdoor North Patio suited to receptions and vehicle displays. On-site culinary services, integrated audio-visual technology at every seat, and complimentary high-speed internet throughout the building make the MEC a well-equipped host for conferences, trade shows, banquets, and private social events.
