COBRT Presenting World’s Largest One-Day Leadership Conference to be Simulcast in Denver

Colorado Business Roundtable (COBRT) is presenting Leadercast Denver for the second year in a row, hosted by KNUS-KRKS-KDMT. Leadercast is the world’s largest one-day leadership conference, broadcast LIVE from Atlanta and simulcast to hundreds of locations around the world on May 6, 2016. This year marks the sixteenth year of the annual leadership conference and the fourth that KNUS-KRKS-KDMT has been a host. The speakers and messaging of Leadercast complement COBRT’s Connect and Collaborate radio show, which airs on KDMT 1690 AM, Denver’s Money Talk Radio, from 4-5 PM Mondays through Fridays.

The theme of this year’s Leadercast conference is “Architects of Tomorrow,” focusing on visionary leaders who imagine and build a future that is rich in innovation, collaboration and full of hope. It is a future where problems are solved, questions are answered, and confusion gives way to clarity.

The conference will equip attendees to create their own visionary path. Key speakers – visionaries in their own fields – will inspire the more than 300 people who attend locally, and the more than 100,000 people who will attend the event live in Atlanta or at hundreds of other simulcast locations in more than 20 countries. Among the keynote speakers are:  

o   Kat Cole—Group President, FOCUS Brands, Inc. (including Cinnabon®, Moe’s Southwest Grill®, Auntie Anne’s®, and more)

o   Steve Wozniak—Co-founder of Apple, Inc.,

o   Henry Cloud—Acclaimed Leadership Expert, Clinical Psychologist, and Best-Selling Author

o   Nick Saban—Head Football Coach, The University of Alabama

o   Andy Stanley—Leadership Author and Communicator

o   James Brown—Network Broadcaster, CBS Sports and News

o   Rorke Denver—Navy SEAL Commander and Author

o   Chris Barez-Brown—Author and Creativity Guru

o   Tripp Crosby—Host of Leadercast, Comedian and Director

For years, Leadercast has brought people together and equipped them to become better leaders, managers, community members, and employees. Here is what people have to say about Leadercast:

“With a constantly impressive lineup of speakers and the on-target themes year-over-year (and at such a value), I consider Leadercast a ‘can’t miss’ event,” Kalpana OOmmen, Vice President Talent Acquisition, Cox Enterprises & 9-year Leadercast attendee.

“The whole day was interesting from start to finish.  It was valuable to hear from leaders from various fields, as each had different perspectives and experiences.  I was able to learn from leaders whom I otherwise would not have known of because I was unfamiliar with their work,” Katie Booth, Mount Vernon Nazarene University.

“For me, it’s a re-charge.  For one day I can plug-in, focus on me - my impact, obstacles, and growth opportunities.  I love that it is not only a lecture but it’s an immersive experience that keeps me engaged…by a multi-sensory approach,” Patrick Williams, Marketing Director, SunTrust Bank.

This live Denver event will be at the Denver PPA Event Center on 2105 Decatur St. and includes lunch.
