We’ve got answers.

What should I wear?

The age old question. Most dress business casual for speaking and networking events, and casual chic for the social events. Casual chic – is that a term? Now it is.

Also, layers! The temperature in Colorado in May typically ranges from mild-to-warm in the day (65-75°F) and chilly and breezy at night (40-50° F). Check the weather forecast for Aurora before traveling for optimal packing.

What should I bring?

Whatever helps you learn best, and their respective chargers. Laptops, tablets, phones, notepads, quill pen and parchment. We’ll have charging stations throughout the venue to ensure you’re charged up.

Oh, and bring an open mind!

Will you feed me?

What kind of host doesn’t feed their guests? We will provide breakfast and lunch on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of the conference. We’re joining forces with local vendors to bring the culture of Colorado inside.

Monday, we won’t provide meals, but there are many popular restaurants nearby to check out.

What’s the sponsorship situation?

We love our sponsors, because we hand-picked them. Sponsorship is a great way to loop in other innovative brands into our mission to make work more human. But we’re ever-mindful of the attendee experience, so we integrate sponsors thoughtfully throughout the venue to ensure that every touchpoint is a welcomed one.

If you’re interested in becoming a sponsor, please apply on our Sponsors page.
