Annual Convention

Join CPA and your colleagues throughout Colorado for CPA’s 144th Annual Convention.

Network with peers across the state, share ideas and learn from industry experts to produce better journalism, build more innovative and sustainable businesses and contribute to stronger and more informed communities.  

This is our first in-person gathering since 2019, and CPA staff and partners are working diligently to make this year’s convention one of the most memorable and useful conventions for attendees. We are bringing in experts (nationally and within Colorado) to bring new ideas and information you can use, across advertising, reporting, design, human resources and more. We’re also making sure there’s plenty of time for networking, socializing and fun. We’ll have peer group roundtables, an “unconference” section where attendees drive the agenda, an ice cream truck from Sweet Cow, a brew pub tour and trivia for Friday’s social, and the annual awards ceremony at Coors Field with private tours of the stadium.
