EVENTS / MEDIA:

One of CBIA’s objectives is to provide training and education to its members in the form of one-day conferences twice a year. The programs for these conferences include “lessons learned” from seasoned business incubator managers, legislative updates, identification of resources and many other topics that provide valuable information to planned, emerging and established business incubators.

Summer Conference 2010 is scheduled for Friday, June 4th at Stapleton in Denver.  The topic for this conference is “Enhancing the Power of Colorado’s Entrepreneurial Support Network through Collaboration”. We will also be offering a Pre-Conference session the afternoon before the conference for those of you who are operating or planning to operate an incubator program:
