About this event

Downtown Colorado, Inc. is a unique membership association of Doers.

We are committed to building downtowns that are prosperous, equitable, creative, and welcoming. United in cause, we are Colorado’s downtown champions.

We invite you to participate in our four-day interactive IN THE GAME experience happening April 12-15 in Colorado Springs, CO. Our annual conference provides valuable educational opportunities and peer-to-peer exchange for the leaders of Colorado's communities who are responsible for economic and community development.

The conference will feature nationally recognized keynotes and Colorado-based speakers with the shared goal of inspiring participants to action. DCI’s highly successful Challenge Studio Workshops will be the centerpiece of the 2022 annual conference: IN THE GAME. These workshops identify a challenge that each community is facing and are designed to transform a community’s difficult roadblocks into promising opportunities. Stay tuned to DCI’s website and newsletters for details on speakers, lunches, tours, Challenge Studio topics, and all things IN THE GAME!
