Welcome to A Big DL Business Collective!

We believe business works best when it feels like community. The Big DL Business Collective was created to bring all of Detroit Lakes entrepreneurs, leaders, and dreamers together in a consistent, welcoming rhythm. 

Our mission is simple:  

Uniting local businesses through events that spark connection, collaboration, and growth. 

This isn’t another stuffy networking group. It’s a place where you can:

Be Seen — Show up as yourself and let people know who you are and what you do.
Be Connected — Build genuine relationships that fuel referrals, ideas, and growth.
Be a Big DL — Stand proud as part of something bigger than your business alone.

 At A Big DL, connection comes first.
From Beers & Brainstorm and Marketing Mashups to Coffee Chats, Breakfasts, and After Hours Socials, every event is built to spark ideas and build relationships. 

Because business is more fun — and more successful — when we do it together. 

 Our community is full of talented people and powerful businesses — but too often we’re all working in our own corners. 

Big DL makes it easy to meet regularly, build trust, and create momentum. 

Rising tides lift us all, let the waves begin!
