On June 12-14, 2018, one hundred Coloradoans from all walks of life, from all corners of our state—both urban and rural—will attend the Colorado Capital Conference in Washington, D.C.

Co-hosted by Senators Cory Gardner (R-CO) and Michael Bennet (D-CO), this bipartisan conference provides attendees key insights into how the U.S. government works as well as a chance to hear from and interact with our nation’s leaders.

Betty Bechtel, a Colorado attorney and past participant, says it best: "The number of quality speakers assembled at the conference exceeded my expectations. Not only were we given the opportunity to hear from such high-profile leaders, but we had the chance to interact with them and ask questions of them in an informal, candid setting. Because of this conference, I was able to watch our two U.S. Senators and their staff work together—despite their differences—to bring Coloradoans together. Everyone should experience Washington, D.C. like this once in their lifetime."

Participants are responsible for their own airfare and hotel accommodations (hotel block and room rate offered), plus a non-refundable registration fee, which covers the cost of most meals. Twelve total student scholarships are available to students of our partnering universities: Colorado Mesa University, University of Colorado, and Colorado State University.

Registration closes March 21, 2018. Attendees will be notified of their selection no later than April 16. Apply today!
