IN THE STUDIO

A working broadcast studio

Thursday’s program is produced in a working broadcast studio, not a traditional theater or conference space. There are no breaks during the show for in-room networking, so please take conversations outside the studio. Studio audience seating is first come, first served.

WATCH ONLINE

Virtual tickets, $25

Colleagues who can’t be in Denver can watch the November 12 live broadcast online. Please share the virtual ticket link with your networks.
