    Event description

    Thursday, October 5th online and Friday, October 6th at the Lowry Conference Center - Light Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Onsite Parking is Free

    The purpose of the Good Business Colorado Level Up Academy is to provide employers and entrepreneurs across Colorado with access to educational programming and connectivity with peers to support them on their journey to running better organizations.

    Good Business Colorado exists to serve the companies that understand business success cannot be measured by profit alone and that true success means that our planet, communities, and bottom lines are all thriving. Many organizations excel in a particular area of their business – environmental sustainability, industry-leading workplace policies, or making unique and meaningful contributions to their communities – but no company is perfect. 

    The GBC Level Up Academy programming aims to meet business and nonprofit leaders where they are, and provide access to educational programming, a peer community of practice, and wrap-around supports that enable organizations across the state to be even better – one innovation at a time! This is not a conference for hypotheticals and small talk, it’s a meeting of the minds for action-takers and doers!  The Level Up Academy will feature real business leaders, walking the talk and sharing how they’ve done it - the good, the bad, the ugly, and the lessons learned.

    Event Background and Context

    We reached out to the GBC community to get ideas for our 2023 educational programming, with the thought that we would do a 2nd annual “Helping Good Businesses Be Better Lunch & Learn Series.” We were thrilled to receive over 70 ideas for educational workshops, and the GBC Educational Programming Committee decided rather than try and narrow down to 10 proposals, we’ll host a conference to allow many more people to bring their educational programming to life.
