November’s Theme:
Networking Night + Meet Conscious Businesses
Naturally Colorado understands that regenerative businesses measure success not only by financial gain, but also by long-term, conscious business practices that positively impact human health, communities and the planet.
Our era demands visionary, transparent and authentic leadership. What role can each of us play in bringing forth a more sustainable, fulfilling, and socially just society? We’re here to foster positive change and collective impact within our communities and empower each other in the face of adversity, so come network with industry leaders, B-Corp organizations, and learn more about 1% for the Planet at our Networking Night!
We are proud to collaborate on this event with Colorado Food Works.
Colorado Food Works started in 2016 with a few food industry friends getting together every month to chat about the local food and beverage scene. As word spread about the meetings, the group grew. In a matter of months meetings grew so large more space than a restaurant table was needed. Today, CFW has grown into the foremost food and beverage industry support and networking group based in Denver.
