The Chamber is an active member of the Image TAG (Tourism Action Group) of the Detroit Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau. TAG has developed a local informational campaign designed to inspire residents of Southeast Michigan Southeast Michigan, also called Southeastern Michigan, is a region in the Lower Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan that is home to a majority of the state's businesses and industries, and is home to slightly over half the state's population.  to "Get in the Game" and be a part of the excitement of the All-Star Game An all-star game is an exhibition game played by the best players in their sports league. The players are often chosen by a popular vote of fans of the sport and the game often occurs at the halfway point of the regular season, although this is not the case for some all-star games , the Super Bowl and a number of other major events taking place in Detroit.

Launched in January, the campaign is now in full gear. In March, the Chamber and Detroit Renaissance hosted around 75 of their board members (and the Chamber's Gold and Silver members) at a campaign kick-off breakfast at the Detroit Athletic Club The Detroit Athletic Club, sometimes called the DAC, is a very exclusive athletic club in the heart of Detroit's theater, sports, and entertainment district designed by Albert Kahn and inspired by Rome's Palazzo Farnese.  for HR and/or marketing staff.
