The Detroit Regional Convention Facility Authority (DRCFA) was created in 2009 to operate Cobo Convention and Exhibition Center in Detroit under long-term lease from the City of Detroit. The DRCFA Board of Directors is comprised of five representatives, selected by the Governor of Michigan; the Mayor of Detroit; and the county executives of Wayne, Oakland and Macomb Counties. The DRCFA is currently managing a capital improvement project that will upgrade Cobo Center's amenities and maintain the venue's status as a premier destination for conventions and trade shows.
