Schedule

Pre-Summit Happy Hour
Join us for happy hour and Civic Power Walk at the Atrevida Beer Company from 4:00 – 6:00 pm the night before the summit, May 20th. Atrevida Beer Company is the first Latina-owned brewery in Colorado and is veteran-owned too! First round is on us!
What’s a Power Walk? We’ll give you options to explore the neighborhood with a group, exploring how the place around you came to be that way. What were the civic activities that shaped this place? Then we’ll return to share a drink and connect. Learn more about Power Walks in this recent story from the New York Times.
