As one of the largest publishers and retailers of orchestral sheet music, you will feel like a kid in a candy store as you browse the warehouse. A bus to our location (approximately one hour outside of Ann Arbor) will be provided, along with light refreshments. We hope to see you there!

Conference room block rates are available thru April 29, 2025.

Transportation to Ann Arbor

From Detroit Metro Airport (DTW): Lyft or Uber is a great option ($40-50 + tip).

Michigan Flyer is another good and inexpensive option. Note that Michigan Flyer drops you off in downtown Ann Arbor at the Blake Transit Center, and you will then need to take a Lyft/Uber or walk to your hotel (about 0.5 miles to Central Campus hotels).

Amtrak and Greyhound Bus Lines share a terminal located at 325 Depot Street in Ann Arbor. Megabus has a stop at 900 Briarwood Circle on the south side of town and offers inexpensive routes to Chicago and Detroit. Both of these would require a Lyft or Uber to your final destination.
