Connecting Colorado Denver

Connecting Colorado in Denver brings together nonprofit professionals, community leaders, and partners from across the state for a full day of learning, connection, and collaboration. With engaging educational sessions and opportunities to connect with peers, the conference is designed to provide ideas and resources you can bring back to your organization.

This year, we’re excited to focus our first two breakout sessions on durability and resiliency, exploring how nonprofits can strengthen their organizations and navigate change. During our third session, we’ll hear directly from nonprofit professionals through a series of panels highlighting experiences, perspectives, and lessons from across the sector.

During lunch, we’ll also celebrate three outstanding leaders and organizations through our Connecting Colorado Awards and hear from George Sparks, President and CEO of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, for a keynote conversation.

Whether you’re looking to strengthen your skills, explore new approaches, or connect with others doing this work across Colorado, Connecting Colorado offers a space to learn from experts and one another while building relationships across the nonprofit sector.
