After cocktails, party guests will move downtown for an afterglow reception hosted by OST—one of Michigan's fast-growing software companies—in the renovated Drueke Building at 605 Seward NW. The exciting reception offers three floors of food, fun, and music as guests meet and mingle with up to 200 additional people in a lively and hip atmosphere.
