Vail Valley Partnership has historically hosted an annual Business Forum bringing in leaders from around Colorado to discuss issues of importance for the Vail Valley business community. While these annual forums offered a great launching point for many initiatives, it has become apparent that a series of forums would present a greater platform on which to build a strong foundation for the future of our communities.
This year, Vail Valley Partnership, in collaboration with Vail Symposium, will be hosting a 4-part Business Forum Series that focuses on issues that impact our trade region, our communities, our businesses, and our citizens.
“We’re excited to partner with Vail Symposium to expand the reach and frequency of the Business Forum. The series format will allow an in-depth review of topics, adding value to attendees”, said Chris Romer, Vail Valley Partnership President & CEO.
The Vail Valley Business Forum series will be a gathering of ideas and innovation to discuss and tackle big issues facing our community. The 2016 schedule comprises of the following topics:
- June 14: The Economic Status of Women in Colorado
- June 28: Health Care in the High Country
- September 14: The State of Eagle County’s Economy
- November 1: The State of the State: A Look at Colorado’s Budget & Legislative Update
A secondary goal of the Business Forum series is to educate the business community on policies and issues that might affect business as a whole, or their industry in specific, so they can make informed decisions. In order to do this, the Business Forum series will bring together government officials and business leaders to offer local perspective and expertise to create an open forum that acknowledges opportunities, discusses ideas, expounds on potential obstacles, and in the end, collaborates for success.
